What Todd describes is exactly the behavior I have experienced with
my _brand new_ 2500/30.  (6.x I forget the rev.)  I have been 
assuming this had something to do with the '030 cache or something.
(I do use SetCPU.)  Does anyone know the official word on this?

It is pretty annoying, but I'm sure people with rev 4.3 motherboards
are a bit happier that it isn't the age of their 2000 that causes it.
