Do you mean that it should work (in theory) but doesn't? -- Ville Syrjälä syrjala@sci.fi http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

No, I feel that on my machine I cannot see the difference, because somebody (BIOS?) register 4 MB WriteCombining area before atyfb even starts. Naturally add_mtrr(with whole memory, 8 MB) always failed.
