Howdy,
I recently bought several sytems containing ASUS P/I-P55TP4XE motherboards.
When ordering, I asked for 512k pipline-burst cache. When picking up the
systems, I thought to ask if they'd actually given me PB cache. I was
told that 512k PB cache modules were not available, and that I'd been
given async cache instead (grrrrrr).
So, I get the systems back to the office, fire one up, and after all of
the usual BIOS messages, I'm greeted with the message "Pipline Burst Cache"!!
Can I trust this message? Do I in fact have PB cache? Are the guys who
built the system really the yahoos that they seem to be?
Taking a look at the module, I see that it bears the label: "CACHE
MODULE CM1 REV 1.3". It has 4 Winbond W25P010AF-8 chips and one ISSI
IS61C256AH-15J chip. Is this the right beastie?
Thanks,
---
