complete side issue........but certainly true for winXP
......did you know that win32 is set up be default, (on the Factory DVD's) to ingnore the level
2 cache in any CPU chip....? (the registry in win32 sets it incorrectly at "zero")
you can, if you like, discover what your CPU chip model is and what it's Level 2 Cache value is
then put in your correct value to replace the "flaw" mentioned above...which exists in windows operating system.
for example, a 512k level 2 cache ----- input the number 200---- into the location of the registry mentioned below
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Cont ro l\Session Manager\Memory Management\SecondLevelDataCache
this is what the internet seems to say
