- Oooops, before I spout, I should ask if you have 256k cache,
- and anything alse that might affect speed. (I only have 64K).
-
- My SB-Pro works fine, except under 386MAX in Links386- I use
- Himem.SYS instead for that one. Also, some other programs
- don't seem to load in Turbo mode, but will function properly
- if I select Turbo AFTER the software has loaded.
-
- I have found that most of the problems I have had are software
- related, and not hardware problems per se. Buy, of course, since
- this thing is SO F*CKING FAST, I don't care because it only takes
- a few seconds to reboot, compared with 2:48 on my old PS/2.
