To see how shitty the computer runs without the L1 cache...

Nice demonstration ;)

Hello,

I own:

an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard
and
an Athlon 64 X2 Manchester 3800+ processor.

I would like to see what effect turning off the L1 and/or the L2 cache for
the processor has on program performance.

I checked the bios setup screen and I also checked the manual.

I didn't find any options to turn it off (?)

Is there a way to turn it off and back on again ?

Bye,
Skybuck.

Contrary to some replies, no it is not hardwired in the CPU, it's always
possible to disable the cache. However, most boards no longer have this
option in the BIOS since there's no godly reason to switch it off..

If I were you, I would learn how to disable your internet connection..

Hi,

Thanks for the pointers.

It's probably possible to turn it on/off via software... haven't tried yet
though ;)
