cpu chips

[cast-fish]

has anybody ever seen this stuff below....before?

Do you think this article is saying that win32 does not correctly "see" cpu chips?

On my laptop the intel cpu chip's L2 cache was also set to zero in the win32 registry.....but my cpu infact has 512 of L2 cache...

53. Get Windows to recognize your L2 cache on your CPU properly

( Warning: Please back-up your registry before performing this step )

By default windows sets the L2 cache of your AMD to zero...yes...0

Here's how to get it running correctly.

Go to ''Start>run'' (Windows key + R) then type in "Regedit"
(regedit32 for advanced users as it provides a few more strings to play with)

Once your here go to ''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Cont ro l\Session Manager\Memory Management\SecondLevelDataCache''

Now ''Right-click'' and choose modify...select decimal and enter the value of your L2 cache on your CPU...128,256,512...ETC!!!!

Now restart your machine ...and while you may not notice dramatic effects Overclockers...most processes and applications should be a little quicker.

i just wondered, because it seemed real odd to me that win32 would not "see" cpu chips correctly.
