So-- I have some computers with Triton II chipsets.
They have the smaller tag ram, so they can only cache 64MB. Anything beyond that causes the systems to run quite slowly.
I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow hack the machines with an 11-bit tag ram (so they could utilize all 384MB of the EDO memory WITHOUT getting slow). I'm getting a bit sad seeing my 128 EDO DIMMs go to waste. I bought eight sticks for four dollars years ago.
The alternative route is to use a socket 7 processor with onboard cache, but I'd really prefer if I could keep the pentium. After all, that's what makes it a *Pentium 1* system
The systemboards in question are these:
