It sets the memory clock to 63 MHz. Typically the BIOS tables specify
125 MHz, but for some laptops that's too much. There have been a few
reports about laptops with 32bit memory interfaces that require halved
XCLK (I had one). Please post the boot messages from atyfb so I can
confirm that your case is similar.
