I have a slight problem with this. Just bought a new Pentium MB last weekend, got the
PB COAST module with it as it has the two chips marked 'WriteBack' on it.

On this MB at least, these two chips do absolutely *nothing*. 
How do I know ?  Well if you see a 100 pin PQFP that has 60% of it's pins unsoldered
