Fair use/fair dealing exception

as you can see, this board with sis496 chipset supports up to 1mb of cache, but with a very old type of barrel battery.

those cache chips are really suspicious looking... either clones or fake IMHO - not to be trusted in any case

true but i don't care much as they are only 128kb total even if they are real, and i ain't going to use them anyway.

I have this board, unfortunately I'm still unsure who manufactured it exactly.

So maybe it's an Abit PI4

There's ABIT, Soyo, Silicon Star and Cthulhu knows what else. All have slightly different jumpers which don't match.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Does it post ? If so can you show a clear picture of the first screen the computer displays (where the ram is counted)
