This looks just magic and for sure an idiot I am to still prefer Intel CRA^H^HPUs for stability. :-) Btw, if I had a system that experienced such a problem, I would configure the thing for the magic FIFO to simply divide the thing by a integer value. Could be 2 there with memory used as PC100. The simplest, the less= =20 risky to trigger hardware bugs, in my paranoid opinion. ;-) G=E9rard.
