Hi, I posted an article earlier about my problem but havent read any
reply. I am trying again just incase the first mail got lost.

The system:
	1. 386DX at 20 MHz with AMI Bios.
	2. 2 Meg RAM.
	3. Paradise+ VGA
	4. GUI: Windows 3 / Enhanced mode.
The problem:
	1. After turning on, the RAM checking routine ticks at HALF its
	   normal speed.
	2. At the end of RAM check, 3 beeps and error message displayed:
	   xcmos checksum failure
	   To resume press <F1>
	3. Boot up continues and system operates normally, I think. Can't
	   feel any performance degradation.
The Question:
	1. Is the system configuration - AMI Bios, screwed up?
	2. What does this mean in terms of hardware and performance?
	3. What must I do to rectify the situation?
	4. Any suggestions or pointers !

The END.
