I've got this board since quite some time, and I always wondered if I couldn't make something better from this crappy board.
Some of the m915 actually had real L2 cache, but many other didn't. But unlike the m919, the traces don't go in circles, they actually go to the chipset, and I measured and the fake chips actually receives power on mine so I'm pretty sure that it is possible to re-enable cache on these boards. I already desoldered the fake chips, and since i have 3 dead 486 mobo with cache and sockets for cache, I could silmply swap the sockets and the cache from one board to another. All I would need then is the bios that came with the same board but the models that featured real functional cache and then flash it and use it in my board. This would make it a more respectable mobo
