I'd be suggesting that Simon quietly lose the BOUNCE_BUFFERS option 
from his boot floppy for now.  It's not really a candidate for your 
average DPT-wearing system.

wrt. the caching thing, it does indeed sound that way.  I can't 
understand Intel; they abandon the P6 for the PII, and manage to come 
out with a slower, less featureful product for even more $$$.

If you get a chance, I think the big money is still on the P6-200/512K
