these are my lmbench results.  Memory access has slowed in the newer
ASUS motherboard apparently -- though it could be that the extra memory
I've added has slowed everything down?.  Haven't diddled with bios settings.
All the below use the same bus speed.  The first 32 meg of ram is 60ns, I'm
not certain about the following 16 meg.
