- how aboutr "bad or slow RAM controller circuitry" ??
-
- I have an old XT with an 8MHz m/b but even with 80ns RAM, it doesn't
- reliably run at 8MHz (unless I keep the air temp below about 12 C).

- Seriously though, it is most likely that your problem is bad RAM or a
- conflict (e.g. between 3 & 9 chip SIMM's).
