There might be something to the farther you go thing....

My girlfriend rarely crashes and her wood elf is on day six or seven...

My dark elf, who is 10 levels higher and on day 90 and has done MUCH more seems to crash every hour....

I played a game yesterday for six hours with a new character and nothing. Guess I'll try my dunmer again and see.

Yeah, maybe that's it.....I wonder what's the price on one of those Super Computers

That's true, The further into the game I got, the shorter the time between crashes. I don't think it has to do with the power of the computer. I think Morrowind is writing too much information to memory too often. When I get an error description, it looks like one of those where the program tried to write to an area of memory that was already used. So, unless you had like Gigs and Gigs of RAM, I think the game is going to crash.

When the game crashes on me, it shuts down the entire game and I end up at the desktop....Without any error messages.

As I say....Windows is the only virus people pay money to get
(Just a little joke)

To make you all confused, i have the following experience about morrowind crashes, having both addons installed:
At the beginning of the game it crashed few times when playing first 3 hours, after that, played whole night (about 8 hours or maybe more) no crashing at all, saved game often (yeah, learned that lesson )
Had a following pc setup, when played it last time

AMD athlon 1.2 ghz
512 mb ram (pc133)
SB audigy platinum
Geforce 3 ti 500 64 mb (hercules)
Asus a7v133-c motherboard
ATX- case for all above stuff with 300 watts powersupply
WinXP home edition
mouse and keyboard
Monitor

Well, it actually crashed very few times after long period gameplay, and i don't remember what was my character type.
Haven't tested it with my new setup, which is intel inside this time...
