in your earlier mail you hadnt said whwther it was the same hard disk. I
agree its far fetched ...but it might so happen the memort fault occurs
while retrieving from the swap space. ( bad sectors etc ). But then it IS
far fetched...I am running out of ideas. Anyway try out with the cache
disabled ( it will run sloow).
And, hi I have this doubt.... I can set the bus speed on the hardware.
But in the bios there is also a feature of changing it. How does it manage
to over-ride the hardware setting. I am sure i am missing something
