- I have a GW486/33E. In the manual, it gives detailed instructions on
- how to upgrade the cache, including exact part numbers and the like.
- However, it also states that ugrading the cache will provide little, if
- any (and it makes a big point of this) difference. I figure GW2K is
- doing one of two things: 1) they are telling us the truth, or 2) they
- discovered that the motherboard doesn't like the expanded cache very
- much, and decided to lie to us.
-
- I'll stick with the first. My system is so fast it's mind-boggling.
- Well, not quite. I'm saving up for the DX2 to stuff in it.. <Grin>
