Apparently Windows XP by default does not recognize the Barton chips as having 512k L2 Cache. Here’s a little registry tweak to fix it!
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement.
Find the DWORD entry: SecondLevelDataCache. If entering it as hexadecimal 256KB = 100 and 512KB = 200 in hexadecimal, and so on.
Hope this helps :D

Hmm, mine was at 100/256. Does windows not use the 256K then :confused:
Hmmm, will try this when I get home, surely tho by now MS would have put something on there update site....

The value was at 0 before I changed it .........

It looks like it just how windows uses the cache

The OS however uses the actual cache size to adjust the memory allocation policy for internal data structures, so as to increase the odds that recently-referenced stuff will stay in the cache.
It doesnt make any difference.
