CPU cache problem
Hello everybody
Sorry to bother you with such a question, but I have a Intel 1.7GHz Celeron processor with ASUS P4S533 motherboard. The problem I have is that cat /proc/cpuinfo reports that
cache size : 20 KB
As far as I know, the CPU has 128K L2 cache.
The kernel version installed on my computer is 2.4.18.
I tried using cachesize=128 as a boot parameter, but it did not help. L2 cache is enabled in BIOS.
Could someone tell me why it is happening, how to fix it and should I be
worried that the motherboard is defective.
Thank you very much for your kind help
Lazar

Also a fix for a different bug where this gets used too late.
