- Dare one suggest the problem is that you've overclocked your 030 ? Do you
- get the problem if you change back to 25 MHz ? If not then I'd say that's
- the problem !
-
- Also, as far as I'm aware all GVP Combo boards came with 32-bit RAM
- soldered on the card. That's probably what that "other" 1 Meg of RAM in
- your system is. Buying more 32-bit RAM would probably give you a bigger
- speed-up then overclocking your CPU (get AIBB to see the speed difference
- 32-bit RAM has over 16-bit !)
