Hey everyone. My first post.
I'm having the following issues with my Mac Pro. I'm hoping you might have suggestions and can help me interpret my Kernel Panic (below).

Troubleshooting
I have taken the following steps to fix it (both at the apple store, with phone support and on my own).
I have been getting Kernel panics on and off for months. But I have had about 20 in October. Is this unacceptable? Should I insist on a replacement computer? I'm not really comfortable with them swapping hardware if they dont' know what's going on.
I'll post my most recent Kernel panic in the next post.
