L (level) 1 Cache: Cache internal to the CPU; this is the closest cache the CPU works with L2 Cache: External the processor itself and often configurable by the end-user. Generally, this is quicker memory than main store. Mine shows 256K of a Cache: cpu : 740/750 temperature : 44 C (uncalibrated) clock : 240MHz revision : 2.2 (pvr 0008 0202) bogomips : 478.41 machine : Power Macintosh motherboard : AAPL,e826 MacRISC L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 160MB l2cr override : 0xa9000000 pmac-generation : OldWorld General L2 info: <http://www.cyberwalker.net/columns/dec99/091299.html> I read a book entitled Efficient Memory Programming by Loshin and it explained a lot of things like this. It also talks about things like "rolling loops", etc. It was a worthwhile read. Elizabeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
