L2 cache....is it worth it???
This is a discussion about L2 cache....is it worth it??? in the Customization Tweaking category; I have 512 kb of lvl 2 cache enabled in the bios of my mobo (Asus P2B-F) and i have it disabled in windows 2k. I have 256 megs of ram, and i was wondering if it was worth enabling L2 cache in windows.

Why would you want to disable L2 in Windows 2k ?
How (where) do you disable it in W2K ?

well....win2k defaults to not using L2 cache...on my machine the amount of lvl 2 cache it was using is 0.
Get x-setup 5.7

and this shows im using 0 lvl 2 cache.

I thought you had to do that in your bios
