BG>> Was there a problem with them after all?



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

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

RB>> Win95.



 BG> Does it run OK if you jumper it back to 133Mhz?



YYYEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!

But not stable at all at 160, It even jumps to the boot up screenand

changes the report to p75 running at 133 THEN locks up.



BG>> I'd be curious to learn if the newer SIS boards are

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



RB>> These UMC's had great Award Bios'



 BG> Pity about the chipset though...



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

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

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



 BG> Not with my fucking motherboard, you don't!  It might have the shitty AMI 

 BG> BIOS,

 BG> but at least it runs a treat (OS/2 & Win95) at 160MHz.



Nobody trusts me...Not even my own mother.....Why is it so??



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



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

RB>> every SIX hours when required for muscle spasm.



 BG> Neurotic housewives need to reduce that time by a factor of 6.



Do you think that _I_ could learn how to become NEUROTIC...

...Is that the same as Errrotic..but NEU..er.



RB>> Hell, I only just noticed that.

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

 BG> know that

 BG> the withdrawal symptoms from Valium addiction are actually worse than 

 BG> those

 BG> which Heroin addicts suffer when going cold-turkey?  It's true.



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



 BG> I was joking.  Valium (Diazepam) is actually quite addictive.



Yes, I don't really like taking anything If I don't HAVE TOO.



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

RB>> now.



 BG> No big deal, just as long as you get to watch Ricki Lake instead. :)
