I have AUSU Tx97-E + 64MB SIMM + 64MB SDRam DIMM. Everything works well. It is faster than just using 64 SIMM when working with 120 processes to use more than 90MB user memory + 10MB system memory. > > This chipset can only cache > > 64M. Anything other than performance ?

HX chipset can cache more, but does not support AMD CPU :-) -Jin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
