A processor card for supporting multiple cache configurations, and a microprocessor
for selecting one of the multiple cache configurations is disclosed. The processor
card has a first static random access memory mounted on a front side thereof and
a second static random access memory mounted on a rear side thereof. The address
pins of the memories are aligned. Each pair of aligned address pins are electrically
coupled to thereby concurrently receive an address bit signal from the microprocessor.
During an initial boot of the microprocessor, the microprocessor includes a multiplexor
for providing the address bit signals to the address pins in response to a control
signal indicative of a selected cache configuration.
