Hello,
Our organization ordered a machine with 512K 2nd-level cache. Our
supplier, S.A.G. Electronics, substituted the Tyan motherboard we ordered
with an Intel Triton II motherboard, with 256K cache. Will the smaller
2nd-level cache have a significant impact when running FreeBSD or Linux
with 64MB RAM?
