Just picked up my first stick of PC100 memory.  Installed just fine, but my
system actually seems SLOWER.  I have run the benchmark included with
Norton Utilities and it dropped a full 10 pts. from 147.7 to 137.7.  Did I
possibly do something wrong here?

System:

FIC 503+ SS7 Mobo (rev. A2)
AMD K6-2 333 CPU
128MB PC100 Micron SDRAM in bank 0 - removed 96MB EDO SIMMS and ONLY have
SDRAM installed.
Running one partition Windows 98 Second Edition and one Windows 2000 beta 3
(build 2031)
Diamond Monster Fusion 16MB AGP video card.

All jumpers seem to be set right according to updated FIC manual.

The thing I am wondering is because I have my FSB set to 95Mhz x 3.5 for
the 333 chip, am I holding back the memory?  Also, can anyone possibly
explain (in more understandable terms) the BIOS settings for the SDRAM?  I
have everything there to BIOS default, but should I start tweaking a bit?

Any help appreciated.

TIA
