Ok, why after a cold boot does SetRamsey tell me that burst mode is on, but
static column, and Burst Wrap mode are off. I can turn them on and the 
machine works fine, and gets a few points higher in most benchmarking
programs with these modes on. Why don't they stay on? They seem to stay
as set after a warm boot. 
Configuration is 2 megs chip, 3 megs 256Kx4 SCRAMS (fast).
