Hello, not sure if this is known behavior or not:

I upgraded my Gateway BAT486IP3 (Intel 420EX) to 64MB of ram, and suddenly the previously stable L2 cache became unstable in write-back mode. It's only seemingly stable in write-through mode now. I tried slowing the cache down and that didn't seem to matter. Why would it be stable with 32MB but not 64MB? CTCM shows all 64MB as cached even as write-back. Memtest was okay for 8 passes.

Any insight?
