Hi, I just bought a WD2010 chip. I read sometime back that changing "the steprate" will improve performance. Well, I've installed this chip and it's running fine, so far, but what about this improved performance thing? What do I have to do to "change the steprate"? Does this really deliver that much of a performance increase? If I change it, what do I have to do to change it back, should I feel the need? Oh, I suppose that I should tell you about my source. . . The place is called Solid State Sales. I found an add in Computer Shopper which says that they sell (among other things) WD2010A chips. Their price: $14.95!!(+10% shipping). They won't take phone orders for anything under $20.00 so you'd have to mail to them, anyway, here's their address: Solid State Sales P.O. Box 74 Somerville, MA 02143 I have no affiliation with Solid State Sales. They did deliver it pretty fast, too. I sent my order (from Madison, WI) on a Friday. I got it on the following Wednesday. Anyway, thanks in advance for the steprate info. - sparkie ___ ___ ___ ___ _ _ _ ___ / __\| . \/ . \| . \| |/ /|_|| _ | \___\| __/| || _ /| < | || _[ \___/|_| |_|_||_|\\|_|\_\|_||___| ARPA: madnix!harier!sparkie@cs.wisc.edu UUCP: ...uunet!mimsy!rutgers!puff!uwvax!astroatc!nicmad!madnix!harier!sparkie
