Very interesting - what sodimm are you using? Maybe its simply a defective
cache module... ?
I never looked at the sodimm - it's whatever the card came with. If it
was bad, I'd expect the card to fail with the cache enabled, not the
other way around.

Oh darn :-) Was wanting one for home to play around with but not willing to
spend so much money just for yet another toy... :-D
