I've tried:
KDE info on processor in RH 6.2
DOS-based Dr Hardware 6.5e
Win-base Dr Hardware 1.5...
BIOS has everything enabled.
Thanks
Scott

What does `cat /proc/cpuinfo' say?

The system doesn't seem to be taking a
'memtest86' lets you toggle L2 on/off which effects memory speedQuote:> hit, though? Any ideas as to how to know for sure if I have a

With L2 disabled a p3-600 will perform about the same as a 386sx.
My 450-SL35D will take my motherboard's highest fsb and run reliably at
698mhz, but only with L2 off. What a dog ;0

cat /proc/cpuinfo >> cache size: 0 KB !!!
I also found a some Intel utils that confirm at
http://support.intel.com/support/processors/tools/frequencyid/downloa...
Now to see if I can get a new CPU from my vendor!
Thanks all!

The day I took the box to vendor, I found a BIOS patch! (MSI-6163pro)!
Case closed. If this helps anyone else.

1. Pentium 120 MHz+512K cache, or 133+256K cache??
I wish to buy a Pentium PC to run Linux and Win95.
I see with Dell, for about the same money, I can get either a 120 MHz
cpu with 512K pipeline burst cache, or a 133 MHz cpu with 256K
pipeline burst cache. Any ideas on which would be faster overall?
