Thanks.


Of course if the cache is disabled the machine will be slower, maybe a way lot slower.

If using better cache memory (faster, or name-brand) does not allow crash-free
compiles with the cache enabled, get a different motherboard.

You might be able to disable the cache, compile/install new kernel and reenable cache,
and it might even run 'okay'. (That worked for EnnTee in times past.)
But I wouldn't trust the machine. For fun and games, but not production.
