Subject: AMD DX4/100 problem solved!

Regarding my complaints about DX2/66 performance from my DX4/100...
I discovered that cold-booting into single-user, I get 87000+
dhrystones.  After booting multi-user I was getting 60000 again.
I removed 32MB of RAM (had 64MB), and now I get 87000 in single-user and
slightly less in multi-user.  Switching back to single-user again gets
87000.
I guess my problem with the extra 32MB is cache related?  I'm not 100%
sure how the cache 'lines' are divided up, or whether having 64MB
instead of 32MB would defeat the cache.  Perhaps somebody who knows
could comment?

Thanks for the suggestions.

-Andrew
