Hello all, I recently put a Newer MaxPowr G3/400 daughter card into my PowerCenter 150, and am loving it! Since the G3 card has a 1mb backside cache, I removed the 1mb cache SIMM I originally had in its motherboard slot.
I then noticed that the MaxPowr control panel gives me the following choices for motherboard cache: 1. On 2. Off 3. On if larger than backside So I put the SIMM back in its slot, and selected "on", since it is not larger than the backside cache. I have not noticed any difference since putting the SIMM back...is there any advantage to leaving it in? Some incidental questions concerning the MaxPowr CP settings: What would be the effect of changing the cache speed in the menu to faster or slower than the default 200 mHz(half of the 400 clock speed)? Advantages? Disadvantages? How about the choice of "Write back - faster"(the default setting) vs. "Write-through"? I guess faster is better, but guess I just would like to know what these mean. The CP's default setting for "Memory timing optimization" is 70ns. I imagine some of my RAM DIMMs are 60ns, but can't remember ...some may be 70ns. Best to leave at 70ns setting? Thanks for any feedback you can supply!
