- The only time I've seen this problem it was due to the machines have a
- configuration point in the low level BIOS setup that set the amount of memory
- to cache. The machine in question was field upgraded from 16MB to 32MB and
- the user didn't realize he had to change the BIOS CMOS setup.
-
- So be sure to check that your machine has cache enables for all the memory
- you have installed.
