- I hope someone can answer this question. I didn't find it in the FAQ's or
- the Digital Librarian's Q&A NeXTanswers.
-
- When my TurboColor Station boots, the first line of the ROM monitor is:
-
- CPU MC68040 33MHz, memory 100ns
-
- I assume the 100ns is the memory speed. Like, no duh.. However, I
- have 4-8M SIMM's installed and they are all 70ns, as printed on the chips.
- Why does my machine think they are 100's? I've tried swapping them
- around(only 4 banks on this machine). I've tried zapping the PRAM by
- removing the battery for 20 minutes. I've looked through all books and
- documentation. Please help...
-
- Why do I care? If my machine really thinks they are 100's, I can boost
- my performance quite a bit by fixing this problem. If there is a problem
- with one of the SIMM's or my board, I'd like to know. I'm still in
- waranty.
-
- Thanks mucho in advance,
