You actually may not have any bad boards. If you look over the older archives
of the Suns-At-Home mailing list (www.net-kitchen.com/~sah), you see this
problem referred to quite a bit. IIRC, you may just have to live with the
current situation or try to find a different board to replace the "bad"
one. Either way, 7mb is the max because of the video architecture.
