Oh, I have one of those. Unless it's a late revision, using the
on-board cache only the first 128mb RAM is cacheable (K6-III helps
on this motherboard due to the on-chip cache). And don't forget, if
your filesystems are large, that you'll need plenty of RAM to fsck.
Yes, this board is one of them. Hopefully it will only affect
performance.
From what I've seen, yes. (Other than buggy drivers back when it was
running Windows 95, that box has been quite well-behaved).
What do you understand under "plenty of RAM"? 256, 512, 768 MB?
There's a rule of thumb mentioned in the FAQ page about large disks, I
think it was 1KB per 1MB of space in a filesystem (of course, splitting
the disk into more fs might be an acceptable way around that).
