L2 Cache

My new 8600 has 2mb L2 cache. I thought it was only 1Mb?

Can someone explain??

Thanks
Phil.

Your I8600 is equipped w/the new Dothan Pentium M.

You probably bought one of the new Dothan processors (1.8GHz and above), which have 2MB l2 cache.

My Laptop is only a 1.7Ghz.

However it said it has 2MB L2 Cache - so hmm.

Can I use a program to determine this?

Use Belarc Advisor and see what it says you have. The Dothan P-M's (with 2MB L2 cache) do come in 1.7GHz (735), 1.8GHz (745) and 2.0GHz (755), so its entirely likely....

1.70 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache

Is this a Dothan?
