Hi all, i have this board and looks in mint condition. The cache chips are ISSI 512k (4 chips) and the tag is 256k other brand.
when i boot, in the boot screen box it detects cpu Am486DX4 (not sure why since my cpu is Intel dx4 100mhz) clock 100mhz, 32mb of ram and 256K of cache
so far so good, but when i run cachechk utility i always get a message after some time saying i only have 8kb cache.
This machine seems to have one cache! (read)
Cache is 8 KB
main memory speed
effective ram access time
cache enabled.
i first thought the cache was fake, that i needed to replace it, but i never saw fake ISSI cache besides the letters on it appeared real. So i changed everything all cacke and placed 256k cache from other known brand, placed cache to the right most side of the board because chip are smaller than 512k
replaced the tag ram, changed jumper and got 128k. Then runned cachechk utility and again...says i have 8K cache.
so far i have no clue of whats going on, i think the cache im using is good and real. and the jumpers i used for cache are the propper ones.

Does anyone have this board? i cannot figure out why cachechk says i got cache and its 8K only.
I also tried it with 1 ram stick of 16mb and no luck same cache
RUNNED 3DBENCH WITH A BUNCH OF PCI CARDS, DIAMOND STEALTH 2000, CIRRUS LOGIC PCI , ATI MATCH64 PCI AND 3DBENCH ALWAYS GAVE ME A SCORE OF 41.6 I BELIVE that was the score. which i thought was low for a dx4 100 and a PCI card
