[Info-vax] rx2660 & 1.6 GHz CPU with 24 MB Cache (Itanium 9050)

[Eberhard Heuser]

Hi,

for those who want to use the most powerful Itanium CPU in a rx2660 box 
here's some info:
Though you'll find that only a 9040 CPU is supported (1.6 GHz 18MB 
Cache), but the more powerful 9050 CPU
(1.6 GHz 24 MB Cache) runs OK, too (at least with the latest available 
firmware):
