THE CACHE MEMORY
TOP ================================================== This
system board can support an optional 64KB, 128KB, 256KB, 512KB or
1MB external write back, direct-mapped cache.
SOME CACHE MEMORY CONSIDERATIONS
TOP ================================================== Since
single bank cache installations (B, D, F) prevent the cache
sub-system from using interleaving access, the "Auto Configuration"
in the Advanced Chipset Setup must be disabled and the "Cache Read
Wait State" must also be set to "3-2-2-2" to ensure proper
operation.

THE MAIN MEMORY
TOP ================================================== There
are 4 banks of 72 pin SIMM sockets on this board with each bank of
72 pin SIMM consisting of only one SIMM socket. The system board has
auto-detection circuitry to sense which bank or banks are filled.
Fill any SIMM module in the configurations listed below with Fast
Page Mode, single or double sided memory.
SOME MAIN MEMORY CONSIDERATIONS
TOP ================================================== •Maximum
memory on-board can not exceed 256 MB in
any combination. •The memory installed in banks 0 &
1 must be more than or equal to the memory installed in
banks 2 & 3. •If both of the SIMM sockets in any single group
(i.e. banks 0 & 1) are filled then both of the SIMM
modules must be of the same type. •However, you do not have to fill
up a single group with SIMM modules before starting on the
next. See below for more clarification on these
considerations.
