	Question: I have heard that there is a bug in the Mac ROMs in the
	fx, ci, and possibly the si. I was told that this bug is called a 
	redundant memory error. Normally the mac moves data 32 bits at a time,
	but when the computer is pushed to its upper limits of memory that
	it only moves 2 bits at a time.

	Has anyone else heard about this ? If so is there a work around, or
	a bug fix planned?

	Any information further information would be greatly appreciated.
