Since we have just seen some questions about Esix and Caching motherboards, I would like to know if anyone has had any difficulties with Esix and motherboards that have a selectable pipelining mode. My motherboard has a jumper for pipelining (which i have connected to the "turbo" switch on the case) and Esix will *not* boot without pipelining enabled (i.e. if pipelining is disabled). Yes, that is right. It may be that the documentation for the motherboard is incorrect; in fact, based on experience, it probably *is* incorrect. So maybe its reversed and esix won't boot if pipelining is enabled. Hard to say. Hard for me to test. The only way that i can tell that pipelining is even doing something is because the memory test (at hard reset time) is *much*, much slower than with the pipelining switch in the other position. Esix TS had never heard of this problem before. -- Derek "Tigger" Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG -- U of MN Women's Lax I am the way and the truth and the light, I know all the answers; don't need your advice. -- "I am the way and the truth and the light" -- The Legendary Pink Dots
