Open the Cache Profiler app. Open the Cache Control tab. Turn off the cache. Check the Enable on Restart box. Open the Other tab. Check the Disable Spec Access on Restart box. DMP should be set to enabled on restart. Then restart, then open Cache Profiler. Isn't your cache on now? > Anyone know is L2CacheConfig really necessary in 2400c/G3/320 ? > I don't use it.
