As part of Intel's scheme to get more $ from the high end server market, the PII can cache no more than 512MB (and no more than 2 cpus), the PPro can go up to 4GB (given the right MB [actually, the PPro has a 36 bit addressing mode, so you go to 64GB, in theory, I think it could cache all of it, but I don't know]) and 4 cpus (with tricks, you can go higher than that). So, for more than 512MB, you need a PPro (1MB cache is $2560, last I heard) or a Xeon (the Slot2 cpu, which also runs $2-3000, and can hold up to 2MB of cache). -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

There are a smattering of Pentium motherboards which cache 512MB of RAM, the Intel HX is one of those (provided you have the tag ram) and many of the Tyan and Asus do as well. But that's only an issue with the Pentium; Pentium Pro and Pentium II systems have the cache entirely on the CPU and they always cache properly.

My Tyan Tomcat 1563D Dual Processor board with the Latest BIOS Upgrade (4.01) supports the caching of 512Mb of RAM. There are new revisions of this board out now, which, so far as I know, support the caching of 512MB without an upgrade.

Re: 256MB RAM
> The FIC PA-2012 will handle 768MB of Ram. But the single TAG-ram chip limist cacheability to 256Mb. Newer boards based on the MVP3 chipset (Such as the FIC PA-2013) May opt to include 2megs of cache, and/or a larger tag-ram chip, thus extending cacheability to 512mb-1Gb. -Randy Randy Carpenter - UNIX Systems Admin First Network Group [EMAIL PROTECTED]Wapakoneta, OH -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
