Is there a way of benchmarking CPU L2 cache on a live system? I have added a 512 MB DDR400 stick to my system - Celeron D "320" (2.4 Ghz/256 KB L2/ Socket 478) on a VIA PM800 chipset. This is because, when I run some Java projects I have more than 300 MB swap. I just bought it this morning and is doing a memtest at home at the moment. :)
Now I thought - will my small L2 cache affect my performance? I'm not really keen on buying a new processor since the Pentium Prescotts are pretty obsolete compared to AMD's offerings. I'm hoping to afford a Socket 939 Opteron by next year :) _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
