The 3rd machine has a bios option for 64/512mb cachable. Ok, I changed that
to 512 from 64. Computer 3 went from 20 minutes to about 12.5 minutes.
Still slower than computer 2 which has a slightly faster chip, but computer
3 has 2 chips. There is no /proc/mtrr even though I have mtrr compiled in.
Any reason why that is?
