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). +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Nick FitzGerald, PC Applications Consultant, CSC, Uni of Canterbury, N.Z. n.fitzgerald@csc.canterbury.ac.nz TEL:+64(3)364 2337, FAX:+64(3)364 2332
