| |
To whoever is responsible for this section in linux/Configure.help, as of 2.0.16:
Limit memory to low 16MB CONFIG_MAX_16M [..] You also need at least 512kB of RAM cache if you have more than 64MB of RAM. [..]
As it is stated, this must be (and is) plain wrong. The amount of cachable RAM depends on the chipset, cache organization, size of tag RAM etc. (In the case of P6 systems with on-chip L2 cache, there's no way to upgrade the cache ;)
Could somebody with the proper knowledge change this, clarify it and/or maybe add a file Help_my_computer_is_slow_after_upgrading_RAM :^), or a hint to the FAQ.
Ciao, -Harald
