It looks like I'm going to be dry for a 300/350 machine. I kind of want to try unsoldering the jumper on the motherboard but I'm hesitant. When I disable the onboard cache using the NewerTech MaxPowr control panel there are freezing issues. When I turn it on, it works fine. A possible scenario is that the 9600 freezes because it's disabled, but it still SEES it, because it's 'there'.

If that's the case, removing the jumper should probably be fine. However if that's not the case and I remove that jumper, that means I won't have a working system until I solder the jumper back on.

I'd rather just get a Kansas to be safe but these are really hard to find lately.
