I am talking about a PII 300 MHz. The bios settings are OK for
cpu-cache. The machine is slower than a PI 75 MHz. It does not look
like hard disks. There is nothing in dmesg or messages that looks
weird.

So how can I see whether the cpu-cache memory is functioning? Could it
be broken?

Bonus question: How can I see at what 'speed' the RAM runs? Could
there be something wrong with the RAM, not generating any error
messages, no signal 11s?
