IBM APTIVA (old one)

[Guest]

I was given an APTIVA by a friend, She didn't have the manuals. I need to know what the jumper settings are for cache. There was none in there and I put a 256 stick in but cant figure out how to enable it. Bios states "cache 0 enabled". Also, I would like to know the largest cpu i can install in it. It has a p2 in it now. 4 simms slots and 1 dimms slot. I removed the 16 meg of ram that was in there and installed a 128 stick of sdram dimms which i had laying around. Hey, the pc was free.....

Can you get the model # off of the case? Usually you can get it off of the side on a little label or on the back, by the PSU. If you can identify the model # IBM has tons of info available on their website and their ftp site.(ftp.pc.ibm.com) I've had 2 aptivas and beleive me, IBM does documentation well. If you can identify the model, you should be able to get those jumper settings. Good luck
