That makes sense, do you know of a motherboard that can cache more than 512mb? I just looked in my motherboard manual and it says that it is the L2 cache on the processor that does the caching so the board has none. So should I look for a board that has it's own L2 cache as well? We will be replacing that board anyways because it was doing other annoying things.
