Have you tried running one of the programs which verify that your L2 cache
is
actually functioning (despite what the settings in the BIOS may claim)?
http://www.softseek.com/Utilities/Benchmarking_and_Tune_Up/Review_22226_inde

is one. I remember hearing that the Athlon 750 had issues with L2 cache at
least
for a while. I think they run it at ~40% of the core clock rather than
1/2 as with the slower Athlons. That alone obviously doesn't explain your
results but maybe if the cache is not functioning at all for some reason...
?
