ONly 128k L2 Cache on my mobile barton?

Chronos_s · May 9, 2004

Hey guys...

Soimething fishy going on here... i bought a 2nd hand mobile barton 2500 and every reading i get says it only has 128k of L2 cache... wtf?

Memtest, sandra, prime, all say 128k L1, and 128K L2

Help?

Look at numbers - AXDx2500xxxXx
x - not important
X - how much cache should be, 4 for 512
if it's 4 - look into bios for settings; possibly processor cache is damaged

I really dont feel like taking my heatsink off right now (SP-97, the one that screws on) but i think it would be 100% safe to assume its meant to be 512k right, cause its a barton?

Bah i can't believe its damaged... i knew there was something fishy about that sale

have a run of 3dmark2001 and list your system specs we will be able to tell then

I dont have 3dmark 2001 but i have 2003. click here to see what it tells me about my system.

Does that help? I would like to fix this if possible

he means run full tests to see if it actually has only that amount of L2 cache (can then tell by comparison to others). Might just be a reading error rather than actually missing cache

Chronos_s · May 13, 2004

oh i see... isnt there a quicker test i could do to determine my usable cache?

I'm sure those proggies are telling the truth and since you said you bought it 2nd hand the cpu might have been modified.

Did you try CPU-Z? That should also detect your L2 cache.
