    8KHA+ Memory Volatge

    When I reset the BIOS on my 8KHA+ it always has the ram voltage bumped a notch above normal. Is it supposed to be this way? Is this normal?

    I don't really have a problem with it because I run my ram way above normal voltage, but just thought it a little wierd.

    Do you have any special cooling on the dimms? It will be on my shopping list if need be, maybe another 80mm fan mounted right on top of the ram?

    Question

    If you are running a late version of Windows, you DO NOT NEED a config.sys file at all.
    If you are running some old dos games, then you will.
    If you are not running the old dos games, the autoexec.bat and config.sys are files that are useless.
    I always delete them after installing all of my software. Never had a problem one.
