It was mentioned that there were trade-offs made so that the 2630
card can work in a 2Meg 32bit memory configuration.  Does this mean
it can't do Burst-mode cache fill?  (This is a special mode on the
'030 that, if conditions are right, gets things from memory faster).
If it can't, does that mean never or does it mean you have to go to
4 Megs to get Burst-fill?  If someone answers this, maybe you can
provide a better description of the '030 burst mode for those
unfamiliar with it.  I know what it means, but I can't seem to come
up with the words to discribe it right now...
