Hi

I have a 486DX4-100 which has been running Win 95 quite happily with 16M
of ram. When I upped this to 32M it ran like a dog. Memory tests showed
that the last 16M was being accessed significantly slower. 

Anyone got any ideas why this is happening and how I can fix it?

the details are:

cpu: intel DX4-100
MB:  1433/50UIV, UMC chipset, 256K cache, VESA VLB, AMI BIOS
Mem: anything above 16M slows the board down to hell (72 or 30 pin
simms)

Thanks
