(lowest bid stuff, evergreen tech i think i got it from) in my tomcat without any problems at all. dont forget to get the additional goofy tag ram chip because the board will almost certainly ship with a coast with 1 tag ram (and hence can only cache the first 64 meg) bios ships configured for 70 ns dont forget to change that. mike hench hench@cae.uwm.edu > Cheers, > > Michael
