Yes, done.

Yes, the broken English is a real pain, but I see what you are saying and will
give it a shot.

I have had all the shadowing enabled since I installed this board.

Now, how do you check the texture memory setting?  I don't see a setting for
this in the BIOS.

No, I ripped out the old EDO SIMMS and sold them back to my dealer.  Amazingly,
those SIMMS are getting a nice price on the market for a trade-in.  I was able
to get $20 each for 32MB EDO 72-pin, and $11 for the 16MB version of the same.
That got me $62 for my old 96MB and the new PC100 Micron sold for $99.  So I
guess I paid $37 for 32 more MB and the 8ns speed versus my old 60ns.

This is what I assumed, but you never know.  Thanks Martin.
