btw my PC specs:
Pentium 225 Mhz, 96 MB RAM (1 64 MB SDRAM, 1 32 MB SDRAM), s3 trio 64v+ video card, 16bit creative soundcard.

I think it means your mobo doesnt have a large enough cache to make use of all the RAM your system has. If you had more cache on your mobo, it would help. Maybe you have like 256 k whereas 512 or a meg would make use of all of it.

Warning W2510 - The chipset may not have the capability to cache all the installed memory (e.g. Intel Triton chipsets cannot cache more than 64MB). While the overall performance may be higher if you’re using all the installed memory, you may get higher performance if the additional memory is not used. Alternatively upgrade the mainboard with one using a more advanced chipset.
Fix: You cannot fix this - but keep it in mind when you buy your next mainboard. Buy one with a good chipset.

Notice N2536 - The system has no enabled SMBus/i2c/BMB controller or Sandra does not support it. Most modern systems have at least one.

Fix: If Warning W2533 is also issued, see its topic. If not check the manual to check whether such a controller is present; if it is please contact us.

my mobo has 512k cache. with a VX PRO+ mainboard socket 7 indeed btw the mobo runs at 512 k cache do you mean i have to remove the 32 MB RAM? would it make the system slower or faster?

[JBilbao]

Exactly...the VX chipset couldn't cache more than 64MB (it's a design issue, nothing to do with the amount of cache memory).
