Well, I don't doubt that it will, my problem is that I would like to
verify that my dealer did in fact install static column rams as opposed
to not so static column rams.  I would like some way to do this other
than taking it apart and looking.  I'm glad I found out about this
setramsey problem though before trying it and then running down and
screaming at the dealer.  (Actually I probably would have taken it apart
and looked at that point.)

What kind of speed difference can be expected using stat col vs. regular?
