When I bought my EISA machine about 4 years back, I was worried that their motherboard wouldn't be able to cache any memory above 16M. So I called them up and asked them how many address lines they had going to their tag cache - nobody in their tech department could even answer my question. So I finally had them fax over the damned schematics and looked at them myself. Incompetents, sigh. (Yes, they only had 24 address lines, and I wanted to put in 32M back then). -- Jonathan
