First off it's been a long time since posting here a lot has changed since 2018 some posts are gone, some people banned. I just back into collecting again after selling of everything. Despite all of that how is everyone doing?

I just recently acquired two identical ibm aptiva 2137 E26 towers. I'm trying to find a more recent bios then the one found here http://web.archive.org/web/20041122034144/htt … MYS-3SNRT3.html also looking for a chipset driver that works under windows 95 the drivers on phils website doesn't work for me.

Most websites are stating that the max cache ram is 64, but having 64mb seems a little slower then when i had 128mb of ram.

Specs:
233mhz k6
64mb of ram single stick
8gb cf
onboard ati rage IIc

The E26fix is the latest AFAIK, and the ALI drivers in Vogons Library should work:

and http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1074&menustate=0

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Thanks the second link worked. I think the e26fix is going to be latest bios that I'm going to find.

After looking up more info on the chipset I found here https://www.anandtech.com/show/72/2 that it can cache up to 512mb of ram with 11-bit Tag now where would i be able to search for that type of ram?
