He was thinking Triton I. Triton II will happily cache lots more than 64mb if you have enough tag. On a Tomcat I|II|III (popular Triton II board), you can cache up to 64mb by default, or 512mb if you buy/install an extra tag chip. If you had 96mb on a Triton I, the last 1/3 of your RAM would not be cached, and if you actually used that RAM, things would possibly slow down. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis@fdt.net> | Unsolicited commercial e-mail will Network Administrator | be proof-read for $199/hr. ________Finger jlewis@inorganic5.fdt.net for PGP public key_______ | ||||||||||||
