- Only the fact that fastmem on the motherboard has to be accessed through
- the connector marked "Bottleneck", and that the motherboard doesn't
- support burst mode, thus performance will drop a lot.

- Strange. I never had any problems with running with 0Mb fast on the
- motherboard. Probably the motherboard mem has lower priority than the
- CS memory board, so you'll never actually use it unless all you need all
- 32Mb for something.
