Definitely something on the board it doesn't like.  We already know that
the CPU is quite happy at 160MHz, so the UMC chipset could also be suss.

A quick look in your wheelie bin should tell you the answer to that.  :)

I recommend smoking dope.  Apart from what it's done to Rod Gasson, it
doesn't appear to have any long term detrimental effects.  :)

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

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

RB> Isn't that the pits, you have to be desperate.

It's so fucking bad, that it's actually strangely compelling.  I confess to
watching 10 minutes of it once, but turned it off as soon as two immensely
obese women actually started brawling on camera.  True!
