The only thing is that it runs in write-through mode instead of # write-back. But my L2 cache is write-back, so it's not a huge # penalty. By the way, are you using the jumper settings for "plain" DX2/66, or those for P24D (if your mainboard knows about it :) ? -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 "You may delegate authority, but not responsibility."
