Hi all. There is really a lot of talk about taking one fast system, and turning it into a 386/486 class machine by disabling cache on CPU/Mobo. Now I am wondering. Wich exact system will give a DX2-66, when disabling CPU Cache only, and leaving the Mobo Cache enabled?

True... When Win9X is not loaded, it is just MS-Dos. Yet with Win9X loaded, it is not Dos anymore. Then it's simply a case of Dos being run on top of Windows.... Wich then again makes me remember that I have seen a clean MS-Dos-7 install cd without the Win-part.
