BG>> Just like your complaining to Randall the other day that you couldn't get 

 BG> 

BG>> your 5x86 to run any faster than 133MHz.  We took it back to his place, 

BG>> changed a jumper, and voila, 160MHz, solid as a rock.  :)



RB>> You must have soft rocks at your place



 BG> This was at Randall's place, and both UMC boards were running just fine 

 BG> with

 BG> the 5x86 at 160MHz there.  Did they fall over when he took them back?



RB>> I have sent the two (wrongly supplied UMC chipset) motherboards in 

 BG> question

RB>> back and expect the two SIS chipset replacement motherboards to be here

RB>> tomorrow. I'll give them to Randall to play with, as well



 BG> Was there a problem with them after all?  Anyway, I much prefer SIS to 



 I brought them home and plugged in the drive with OS/2 on it. It just

 got as far as the logo, then trap errors and locked up solid. Same with

 Win95.



 Worked great in DOS though.

 

 BG> UMC

 BG> chipsets, as you know, but I'd be curious to learn if the newer SIS 

 BG> boards are

 BG> now using the AMI BIOS rather than my beloved Award.



These UMC's had great Award Bios'

I should have thought of snatching the Bios chip and trying it in a

board like yours. (it could only mean, one more success or yet another

board in the wheelie bin) I takes my chances!!!



RB>> I am into mind altering stuff lately

RB>> Notice the mood swings

RB>> Nah...changed my mind



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



Got a box here in front of me that says, Daizepam..5mg...take ONE tablet

every SIX hours when required for muscle spasm.

Hell, I only just noticed that.

I have been taking 2 at a time for years and they dont do a real lot.

Have too try your recommendation Doctor Grim. Was that Hourly you said.



Ooo Yes, don't even have to turn the TV on, to watch Days of our Lives,

now.



Funny, you know, I have all the symptoms of all ailments, all the actors

on Days of our lives have.
