Hello, guys, I have the option to buy this board: Socket 3 4sgs-3vl
This is suposedly a good board, but if I', not wrong, the cache is fake?
How can you tell if it's fake?
Because the cache chips are solded directly into the board, there is no socket. But I'm no expert, I'm doubting...
they look fine to me... soldered chips doesn't necessarily mean fake chips...

Oh, I thought that no socket meant fake cache chips!
FYKI,
the usual bad omens:
- "Write Back" labelling without serial numbers on soldered "chips"
- post screen shows "Write Back cache ON"
- no option to change L2 in CMOS, it is already disabled, greyed-out
Your cache modules may be fully workable, although not easily expandable.

Try speedsys and see the cache performance for yourself 😉
