Hi there, I'm really disappointed about this patch story, not because it hasn't been applied yet (I've notive that yesterday too), but because I was indirectly told why, exactly 7 months later. If I knew, it would have been really easy to change my patch to make it conform to the DRI patching

Well, it seems that the problem is indeed hardware. I had tried setting my bios settings to fail safe but that still left the memory at 133MHZ. Setting it to 100mhz alleviates the problem. So DRI just aggravates an existing hardware issue. All things considered. With the performance hit in
