My minor modification to the above: make sure it is _capable_of_being switched_(back_down)_to_ 8 MHz. We've a bunch of Everex STEP/25's that can be run at either SYS_CLOCK/2 or SYS_CLOCK/3. We (now) run them at /2 since the most recently-received ones started working with our display cards (Video7 FastWrites). But earlier STEP/25's _didn't_ and so we had to run the bus at the /3 rate. kEITHe
