- I purchased this ram board during christmas for myself, and had no
- problems with it at first. It definately sped things up quite a bit,
- going from 16 bit almost-Fast :) ram to 32 bit ram..
-
- But my voltage was around 4.75. I decided to get a BigFoot power
- supply.. Got it, got everything worked out and adjusted so that
- the power was at 4.9, and now I get ram errors.
-
- Both in the EXACT same addresses *every* time. Never anywhere else.
-
- The addresses are $020E11B4 and $020E19B0. Each time the error is
- the same, as shown by Amnesia below.

- Every time I get the same value.
-
- I can NOT get ahold of CSA, they're making me mad. The phone is *always*
- busy or they have the answering machine on. I need to send this back to
- Briwall by TOMMOROW to get a new one, so I figured I'd post here to see
- if you all think I have one with a bad chip. (Both errors are in the
- same chip, but I'm sure that's obvious.)
-
-
- Thanks.. Please let me know, I gotta mail it out tommorow.. :(
