- This is very strange, because I had absolutely no problems with TEC
- and AdSpeed in my Mega (and my machine is a complete hack).
- Initially, before I bought the TEC, Codehead mentioned a
- possible conflict, but they called me back a few days later and
- said that the problems were due to a user having a faulty
- installation. This confirms my experiences. As a note of interest,
- the chip set in my TEC can run with the 'fast ROM' option of AdSpeed
- switched ON, but they are too slow for any visible speed increase.
