- Yes, I tried a year ago to set it faster, and couldn't get the machine
- to boot :-( I removed every card except the disk controller and it

- BTW, thanks for your reply to my "enormous desktop" problem the other
- day. I don't know why I didn't think of that, since I've done it
- accidentally a few times. I know it's stated oftern, but we really
- appreciate your dedication to helping people on these groups. I know
- it takes an incredible amount of time...
