This is normal. You want to install the control panel which can disable the soldered cache. Two cache levels, one at 201 MHz and a second at just under 50 MHz (one fourth of the true cache's bandwidth) is not good. Actually, if ASP reported this onfiguration correctly, there would be shown 64 kB of L1 cache (on the PPC750 chip), 1 MB of L2 cache (on the PPC750 ZIF) and 512 kB of L3 cache (on the motherboard). -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
