Here's a new one for you -- hold down the INSert key when powering up -- don't
let go until the "memory counting" starts.  That <ought> to cause the computer
to ignore the extended CMOS ram settings.

btw--I own a 386 based system with the C&T chipset & AMI bios, I ran into
a simial problem myself while messing around with wait-states etc, then
I did something new and exciting!! I read the manual!
