I was at the right age (13 years old) in the right place (Western Europe, Italy) in the right years (1993) to fully enjoy the beginning of the golden era of gaming. Ah! and I also started first (1989/90) with an Amiga500, then in 1993 they gave me a fully equipped DX266. I think there cannot be a …

Re: How to check if cache memory is fault
