I have used Memturbo in my Win 98 system for about a year or so. It hasn't
caused a single problem.

Why not if BIOS has adjustable frequency 66-155 MHz?
The combination of (64-100)+(64-100)+(128-133) worked with 142 MHz
during 6 months without problems.

Thanks, it is interesting in any case and I'll try that.
Does it work well with w98?
