With the Service Pack installed, I get a lot of trap errors, around 8-10,
sometimes more, per day.  People at IBM NSC BBS have put the blame on my mix
of 4 3-chip 1mb simms, and 4 9-chip 1mb simms.  This is UNACCEPTABLE,
considering that with GA + separately downloaded fixes, I have not had ANY
trap errors.  My question is, will this be fixed by the next release coming
soon?  Or am I the only one having this problem?  I would like to start using
the Trident 32bit drivers but the Service Pack's numerous trap errors
discourage me from leaving GA again.  It seems in fixing some problems, the
Service Pack has put more serious problems in their place.

I do not want to waste money by buying new simms just because the SP is being
picky. I can hardly sell off my old simms, considering that 1mb simms are too
low-priced for me to be able to set a reasonable price for my used ones. I do
plan to go to 16mb memory, but that is a LONG way off, and besides that, I'd
rather spend that money on a CD-ROM drive.
