Of course, you need to : take out the additional 32 MB in order to recompile the kernel, or you : can boot /kernel.GENERIC which does have bounce buffers. Are there such things as ISA busses with 72pin simms ? I assumed it was a PCI, but then, there aren't that many 8-slot PCI boards around are there ? My confusion is how the poster makes is 60ns simms run at 70ns. Try the new 32Mb on its own - maybe your board can't grok different speed simms. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
