OK all you techno whiz types:

I have a 4M, no cache 25MHZ 386DX, with IDE 210M, Goldstar Monitor/BOCA Super 
VGA card.

PROBLEM:

Some graphics/games don't work. It doesn't seem to be the card, monitor and or
programs. This card/monitor combo works fine in a 33MHZ system. The
config.sys and autoexec.bat files are the same. Only the names have been
changed to protect the guilty.

Either I get graphics/games/hooters or on certain programs (the update to
Falcon3 comes to mind), the screen goes blank and locks the system. As
I stated before, the hardware combo works in a 33MHZ MB. 

Could it be a possible fluke with just my 25MHZ MB or has other techno
people/aliens/ animals experienced this?

Thanks in advance

Kevin
