2930.0. "Dirty ram chip what is it?" by CIRCUS::BOSKLOPPER () Mon May 19 1997 22:15

    Who can help me with this?
    I bought a pentium motherboard with some cache chips.
    Now I found in the manual there is also place for
    a dirty ram chip. It is one socket and the chip is a
    16Kx1 Who knows what this is for and do we need it.
    Any input is welcome.

    the "dirty chip" stores all the urls of.... *those* sorts of
    websites... the kind that your mother warned you about.

Ohhhh, so you can wait until mom and dad go to bed and THEN access 
the information stored on the chip?

What a great idea.
