Handbook:
----
F.3. Core/Processing

Of the Intel PCI chip sets, the following list describes various types of 
known-brokenness and the degree of breakage, listed from worst to best.

Mercury:
Cache coherency problems, especially if there are ISA bus masters behind the 
ISA to PCI bridge chip. Hardware flaw, only known work around is to turn the 
cache off.
----


I have a Pentium 60 that uses a motherboard w/ the i430LX Chipset.  I am 
using it as an FTP server w/ a PCI Graphics card, NIC, and HD Controller.  
There are no ISA cards used.  Does this problem still apply to me?  Is there 
a way to check to see if I need to turn the cache off?

Thanks in advance.
