Hi, I have a cyrix processor ... CPU: Cyrix 486DX2 (486-class CPU) Origin = "CyrixInstead" DIR=0x341b Stepping=3 Revision=4 I have had a problem with my system hanging with a NMI. I have tried each simm separately and it hangs with each one by itself. I don't think both could be bad. I have started to play with turning off the caches. It seems to stay up with the internal (on chip) cache disabled. I noticed there are some settings for CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS in the LINT config file. These plus CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE may apply to my machine but I'd like to know a bit about them before trying. Is there documentaion anywhere? Please reply via email. Thanks, Tom Proett
