- No, the problem is not *that* board. Most of the 040 boards talk to the
- A3000 and A4000 inefficiently. The MB is designed for an 030. I have
- the 28MHz GVP G-Force 040 A3000 (a real lemon, BTW), and it tests slower
- than the 16MHz 030 on the MB in reading and writing to registers, chip
- ram, the zorro bus, and fast ram on the MB.
-
- My system is extremely unstable with the memory on the GVP board
- configured at the beginning of the memory pool, so I have it configured
- last, with the MB fastram first, and all tests give similiar results to
- the C3640.
