Possibly the new memory is not up to scratch. You could check to see what
speed the PCI bus is running at when the system clock is set at 75 MHz.
Many boards give you the option to choose between System Clock divided by
two (ie. 37.5MHz when System Clock is at 75 MHz) or a fixed setting of 33
MHz. If this is the case with your board, try setting the PCI clock to 33
MHz and the system clock to 75MHz and see if that helps.
