If you have both onboard cache chips (see "Map of Motherboard" for locations) and a Cache Expansion Slot, then you have 256KB. If you only have onboard cache chips, then you have 512KB. An "ASUS" or "COAST" cache module can be used to upgrade the 256KB version to 512KB. The 512KB version cannot be upgraded any further. If there is no onboard cache, you may install a SIMM cache module of either 256KB or 512KB.

If you have both onboard cache chips (see "Map of Motherboard" for locations) and
a Cache Expansion Slot, then you have 256KB.
If you only have onboard cache
chips, then you have 512KB.
An "ASUS" or "COAST" cache module can be used
to upgrade the 256KB version to 512KB.
The 512KB version cannot be upgraded
any further.
If there is no onboard cache, you may install a SIMM cache module of
either 256KB or 512KB.
IMPORTANT:
You must set "Total Level 2 Cache Size Setting" jumper on
