At least 1D1.
Ok, but not according to what doctorq said in this thread. :-)

Correct. I couldn't get a stable system with my 1D1 motherboard, but after doing the timing fixes the system has been running without any problems for a couple of hours yesterday and a couple more today.

If I just could get MorphOS running now...

I have a query about the fix on the Stedman site.  I have tried to Pmail Ian, but he doesn't seem to be around.

The instructions for ID4 boards say to remove 123C and 125C, but then the picture included circles 125C and 123R.  As there is a 123R and a 123C and a 125R and a 125C, just need to be double sure - it should be the 2 Cs, right?  Both capacitors?

Cheers

Most users have pointed out stability issues and most have been captured and pointed out in other thread.

Depending on set-up stability can also be memory heat issues. The problem is not the memory itself but the regulators sitting on the other side of the board.

Some memory module can withstand a lot more heat before slowing down,this is where lock-up,crash happens.

Too much focus has been put on CPU,chipset cooling where its the regulators that may need cooling.

Regulator cooling is not required as long as memory can operate correctly in a hotter environment.
