The VX and the TX chipsets only support caching of 64 Meg which might explain why you have encountered this limitation. The HX chipset will cache much more (although I can't remember how much more - 512Meg ?) and also supports multiple processors. Of course, the motherboard has to support caching greater than 64Meg as well. -- David W. Alderman dave@persprog.com
