Who set the CMOS up originally? I'd get them to take a look at it. In
particular look at the memory wait states - the defaults are often way slow.
Best bet to pin things down is to get WinTune 97.

To give an example I fixed a 486DX80 that was running slower than a DX33,
after 'someone who knows about computers' had 'just been having a look'.

Reducing the wait states to their minmium caused a crash, so I backed off by 1
cycle, and it was as good as when I originally built it.
