I am running 32 Meg of 70ns EDO DRAM (this was all that was available a month ago) with 12ns async cache with a SuperMicro mother board and AMI bios. I havn't tweaked much of anything. I think the problem might be the external cache speed in my case. My system has been running for almost 2.5 hrs now with the external cache disabled and make world is just about finished. I talked with some people down in the Electronics shop and they suggested that the cache speed must be 10ns with a 100 Mhz processor and 8ns with a 120Mhz processor (1/Processor Mhz). Do you know if this is correct? Also, do you know if there is anyway of causing a core dump if the system hangs? Thanks. -Jim
