Have >you tried anything else demanding on it, like Windows NT or OS/2 (or >Linux or NetBSD)? Well, I do not have an external cache. I was talking about the internal cache. That one is disabled. But anyway, what does the internal cache have to do with the mother board design? That is internal to the processor... The external cache is also disabled because I don't have one. I have not tried anything besides FreeBSD on this machine. Regards, Eloy.- -- Eloy A. Paris Global Technical Services Rockwell Automation de Venezuela Telephone: 58-2-9432311 Fax: 58-2-9430323
