      I'm new on the IBM scene and in my motherboard manual it says that when

running on less that 4 slots filled the cpu speed is reduced by 10%-20%. I

have a Dieco 286-16Mhz, I used the norton system info utility. The benchmark

was at 8.4(Mhz, I think). If my mathmatics is correct that a little less than

50% reduced speed. Can someone please explain why such a great lose in speed.





                                      Thanks,

                                             Trung
