- What the program does:
-
- This proggy basically speeds up the rate at which the MEMC chip
- accesses the ROMs, where the OS is stored. This has the effect of
- speeding everything up, in fact the speed increase is greater than
- that gained by using ROMFASTER.

-
- If you are using the machine for a long time, you may well begin to
- experience crashes (at least you do on a warm day and my A3000 as
- there is no fan) as the ROMs do not particularily like being clocked
- that fast. I have heard of this idea before and some people reported
- that old 310s were getting their ROMs ruined. I know a lot of people
- who use this programme however, and they have never had any problems.
- Come to think of it, I am the only person who has even experienced a
- crash!
-
- I don't think there is much of a risk as the people mentioned above
- and myself have been running our machines for over a year like this,
- but if your ROMs go to the great anti-static pad in the sky DON"T
- BLAME ME!!!!
-
- Happy frying!!
