Being the uptime crazy madman on my street, after reading this thread, I said screw it and put a jumper on J38 (my machine had the pins already) and it did make one hell of a difference. The Powerlogix control panel always just said that my L3 cache was non-existant or disabled. (All the options were greyed out). So I never knew for sure the onboard cache as disabled. Now it reports as Not present, good stuff.
Now for the big news, I have noticed a rather large speed increase, iTunes now uses an average 10% LESS CPU power than before. I used to hover at 50%, now it sits between 35%-40%. Screen redraws when switching programs is also noticeably faster. Web pages to load slightly faster, but that may just be me, however, loading pages while playing iTunes, is considerably faster. -Robyn On Tuesday, August 13, 2002, at 05:54 AM, Bailey wrote: > I'm going to try a conductive paint pen to "jump" the J38 pins.
