- Hummm... fascinating... I don't have a big problem w/ trap errors... if
- i do, it's typically because i am trying out untested software or i was
- playing around with some stuff on my hd. i've only had about 2 "real"
- trap errors since i've installed the sp.
-
- my setup is 12 megs of ram (4 1meg 9 chips 70ns simms (don't know brand)
- and 8 1 meg 3 chip 70 ns simms (goldstar)) i remember way back
- when trap error problems were numerious, it was typically becasue
- people were not putting the same kind of simms in the same bank. (i
- kept all the 9's in one bank and all the 3's in the rest) so you
- might want to check for that.
-
- also, if you are mixing different speed simms, that may be your
- problem (although some people have not experienced any problems
- under this setup...)
-
- oh, btw: my my m-b is a 486dx/33 + ami bios
