How to Enable Additional 256KB of L2 Cache on AMD Athlon XP

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 10/01/2003 01:56 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ] · 5791 views

Just got word from Anton Shilov at Xbitlabs.com that he's thrown up their new guide that will show you How To Enable Additional 256KB of L2 Cache on you're AMD Athlon XP Processors Model 10! Here's a snip.

AMD Athlon XP processors Model 10 with 256KB of L2 cache appeared on the horizon sometimes after the launch of Barton in the first quarter of the year. The chips were based on the Barton design with disabled 256KB of L2 and a bit lowered speeds compared to the high-end AMD CPUs.



Due to the fact that the devices essentially utilize ?Barton? core, but have only 256KB of L2, just like the ?Thoroughbred? microprocessors, the AMD Athlon XP Model 10 with 256KB of L2 are generally recognized under the ?Thorton? CPUs.

Anyone got a link to a better article on how to do this?
I believe my XP 2400+ can be unlocked for more L2 cache

That stupid AD is covering the trick. Save the image to your HD and you can see where bridges are to be joined.

Use CPU-Z to identify the model. I have a model 8 2400+. You should have model A if you want to enable the extra cache.

Says I have a model 8, but it lookslike the ones in the article. Has the extra big die, instead of the square'er one like earlier XP's.
