Thanks for the revision summary. I also noticed that 2.1 has no hardware monitoring in the BIOS.
How do you tell if a board is 2MB or 1MB cache? if it has the same chips filled like 1MB/2MB in the manual:
The spec of Cache chips should tell about the total cache capacity, both of my PA-2013 MOBOs has 4 cache chips, the one contains cache chips W25P222A-4F, it's 32Kx64bit means total 1MB cache ( 32 x 64 x 4 / 8 = 1024KB ), the other one is Rev2.1 with 2.0- E-O036 mark and contains cache chips T35L6432A-4.5Q, it's 32Kx64bit and get total 1MB cache also.

Thanks! I think mine is the 2MB version then since the part number is MC803128K32L on Rev 2.1, though doubt it would make a huge difference in my current build with a K6-2.

As I know, the onboard cache is L3 with K6-III+, so it's no longer the key to determining maximum cacheable RAM.
I always prefer run Quake TIMEDEMO DEMO1 in pure DOS with default resolution 320x200 to get the true, but I still have no luck to get a 2MB motherboard to compare ^&^
