Does you computer ever go through the memory check when you first turn it on? Of course it does. But for some reason mine now takes twice as long to go through the memory check. It use to zip through the check as you could listen to the sound of each K being verified through the speaker. Now it is a slow process... How can I fix it so it is a fast quick check again instead of hitting escape each time..... Mike ..... simon@cs.odu.edu

In my CMOS setup, there is a setting for shadowing. If I don't shadow my main bios, the memory count is excruciatingly slow. If I shadow it, the speed is roughly double. Try this. _____________________________________________________________________________ Scott K.

Check your CMOS settings. Sounds like you got more wait-states than before. -- Ronald Meijer _ /) ronaldm@microsoft.uucp \`o_O' =( )= Achk! Phft! "Modesty is one of my many fine traits" U
