Is it all cached?

I guess so? Hold on I'll run cachechk and see.

It occurred to me that I don't quite know how to interpret cachechk or speedsys results. 🙁

All I ever used them for was to verify that cache existed on 486 boards!

It should be - the manual says that "the mainboard has an 11 bit tag built on board so cachability of main memory is to 512MB.'

Now, what would really look nice is identical HSFs 😉...

So it does! Nice!

And yes, that would look rad, but capacitors and stuff would prevent the Socket 370 cooler from fitting on the left slot! 🙁

CACHECHK will tell you if not all your memory is cached - it'll say something like 'not all of your memory is cached'
I forget the exact wording but it makes it pretty obvious.

If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.

OK, I figured it might, but I'd never seen it before. Just the usual numbers-type results, and "FAKE CACHE! PC CHIPS DETECTED! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!"

Cachechk won't tell you how much of your RAM can be cached. You need to run the second edition of CTCM. I have it titled CTCM7.

Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.
