Hey Boys, take a look at your motherboard. If you find the INTEL-TX- Chipset, you have a cache-problem. The TX only caches 64MB. This is well known, but every stupid buys this junk. Addon W96 addresses the memory from top to bottom, NT/dos/linux works in the opposite way. Buy a HX chipset or the new Via-apollo-chipset.
