VA503+: L2 write-back cache enable?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.fic (More info?)

Yes, you are correct, but I never found write-back mode to be any
faster with the k6-2/3 CPU setups. I think it was much more likely to
be more effective with the Cyrix CPUs, btw, wanna buy one?

Heh, I never tried to OC it that hi, but you might give it a try,
yours to burn for $15, lol. I think I have a 300 Mhz MII Cyrix
somewhere. It actually was a decent CPU, and you could fry eggs on
it.

FWIW, the MII would overclock to 350 no problem, but sure ran hot as
heck . In the "I can't believe it was that hot" department, my old
k6-233 sure ran hot also, when the CPU fan died I burned stripes on my
finger touching the HS, lmao. Figgered the CPU was toast, I was
wrong, fixed the fan and it ran like a champ still.
