Can I upgrade my cache to 512Kb?

Dear Jason:

The L2 cache on the Advanced/ZP motherboard was hard soldered and could
not be upgraded. It ran with 256 async only or none at all on some
versions of the board.

Hi,

I have a version of the board(Advanced/ZP) that has no L2 cache. Would it be
possible to solder 256K onto this board, or is it impossible?

Also, would the lack of cache not have a bad effevt on the speed of an overdrive
provessor?

Thanks very much in advance for any info

:> Hi,

Dear Gaffar:

There were versions of the Advanced/ZP board that were released with no
L2 cache and EDO Memory. It would not be recommended to try to solder
cache on the motherboard.

Were there versions of the advanced/zp motherboard that did have L2 cache and if so where is it located on the motherboard ?

Thanks!

Dear Bob:

When the Advanced/ZP motherboard was released it was around the time
when EDO was the new hot memory to use. There were versions of this
motherboard that were released with no cache and EDO memory. The
sockets for the cache are a series of eight identical sockets to one
side of the processor or next to the processor depending on how you
look at it

OK, Found the cache...
How much DRAM soace is cached? The doc's say board supports 128M, but is only 64M cached?
If so, how do I upgrade/replace cache?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Scott:

With the Advanced/ZP only the first 64MB of memory are cached, this
uses the 82430FX chipset. There is no way to replace the cache since it
is hard soldered on the board, it only supports 256KB async.
