I thought the nominal speed rating of the system RAM is related to that; ie,
use at least 100MHz rated RAM if the bus is 100MHz?

Most computers (not my two ASUS) let you use 66MHz RAM in a 100MHz bus.
Something to do with one of the onboard chips.

And vice versa. Fiddle with BIOS. I was given a 700MHz computer which had PC133 (133MHz) RAM but was set to use 100MHz RAM, and when I changed the setting from 100/100 or 133/100 to 133/100 (FSB/RAM) it ran at 1.4GHz.

Somehow the speed of other things is related to that bus speed: eg, maybe
33MHz PCI or ISA bus?

256 megabytes of system memory: the original 64 from Mushkin that I got with
my 300Mhz, an added 64 that came with the second-hand 450MHz processor, and a
purchased 128Mb.

I have never known BL2 to use even 128MB, while dealing with large images.
Check with 'free' how much memory you use outside of buffer.

Thanks,
Sheldon
