This was at Randall's place, and both UMC boards were running just fine
with the 5x86 at 160MHz there.  Did they fall over when he took them back?

Was there a problem with them after all?  Anyway, I much prefer SIS to UMC
chipsets, as you know, but I'd be curious to learn if the newer SIS boards
are now using the AMI BIOS rather than my beloved Award.

Two x 5mg Valium taken hourly should cure you of the mood swings...  :)
