I don't quite understand whether you expect us to magically read your mind or to work out where you're posting from, travel there, break in and examine your hardware for you while you sleep. With the miniscule crumbs of information that you've let slip so far, it seems that you're using a Pentium II of the < 350MHz variety, and yes, the 512MB cache limitation is a feature of the processor. > We will be replacing that board anyways because it was doing other > annoying things.
