Hi Bruce,
BC>Rich, tried your suggestion to add more cache. Now have
BC>512KB on board, but problem same. At 16MB, system works as
BC>usual. As I add 8MB SIMMS to my 486DX4/100, performance
BC>drops noticeably. Folders take annoyingly perceptable times
BC>to open; cpu monitor shows higher activity peaks. I am
BC>puzzled. Help.
Have you got a bus mastering controller in an ISA slot (like an Adaptec
1542 SCSI controller) or using a driver that thinks it can only access
the lower 16 MBytes (you can check by looking at the detailed
information page for the adaptors given by the "System Information Tool"
in the setup folder)? This could cause the extra RAM to be only usable
as fast swap space.
