- Im running on a AMD 386-40 and my system cooks, the real key to getting it
- to run right is in your bios setup and the memory you use. If you use
- 60ns ram (available at high end computer stores) you will have no problem.
- However if you get 70ns ram, youll have to add wait states to the processor
- and thus, slow results. Im quite happy with the performance of my system, im
- cuurently using a 386-40, Stargate Multiplexer, and 12ms IDE hard disk, its
- quite a cooking little system, no slowness about it.
