Is anyone running a CEBAF built 486 PC with 32mb installed (Predator
motherboard)? I just bought 32mb upgrades for the entire Plant Engineering
Department only to find that when it is installed that the machines slow
down a _BUNCH_ (like 5 times SLOWER than with 16mb)! It seems to be a
problem with caching...but I'm not sure. If anybody out there is using this
config I'd sure like to hear how you've got your motherboard set up...right
now I've got 22 sets of 8mb simms that I can't use!

Thanx,

Ed Winslow
