Not every BIOS supports it but you shoud check there ... Thanks -Manish -----Original Message----- From: Z F [mailto:mail4me9999@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 8:32 PM To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: CPU cache problem Hello everybody Sorry to bother you with such a question, but I have a Intel 1.7GHz Celeron processor with ASUS P4S533 motherboard. The problem I have is that cat /proc/cpuinfo reports that cache size : 20 KB As far as I know, the CPU has 128K L2 cache. The kernel version installed on my computer is 2.4.18. I tried using cachesize=128 as a boot parameter, but it did not help. L2 cache is enabled in BIOS. Could someone tell me why it is happening, how to fix it and should I be worried that the motherboard is defective. Thank you very much for your kind help Lazar __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
