- One problem that I've heard of with the Ultra Plus (and I have not
- verified this with ATI since I'm perfectly happy with my new SpeedStar
- 24X) is that the second MB of memory clashes with system memory if you
- have more than 8MB installed. Apparently, they set the addressing of
- the second MB at the beginning of the 9th MB...
-
- Anyone have a definitive word on this? Did I hear right or wrong?
