Well, we've got the culprit nailed down. SetPatch is trying to enable
BURST mode on the CPU, and the memory chips can't handle it! This means
that I really have to inspect that RAM. I will do it this weekend.
Thanks for mentioning the SETPATCH NoCache switch…. I didn't think of it
(actually, that must be a new switch, as I was not aware of it).
I will let you know what I find "under the hood"
Thanks a LOT <you win what's behind door #3…>!
