Perhaps static electricity finally did the card in? It must be that particular card because I managed to get X running on a 8600 with 256MB's of interleaved ram. The chip is a Newertech 500 on a carrier MPe board running 547MHz with bus speed 55MHz. The Xlr8 X cache software is running the cache. The cache is set with speculative off, writethrough off, power management on. That chip has been running at 547-563MHz for the last 2 years 24/7 across 2 machines.
We installed a Powerlogix board is a friend's comp, it would randomly crash and we were never able to figure out exactly why. We replaced it with a OEM type chip and its been running perfectly for the last couple years. Andrew __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
