Hi,

What system model do you have?
My P3 1GB shows "32 kilobyte primary memory cache" in Belarc also.

Well it appaers that Intel dropped the ball on this one, just finished reading the aticle @ google.  Hmmm, seems pretty stupid to put such a low cache in such a "supposedly"fast chip.  Could be that they have figured out soemthing that I dont know, (which is entirely possible ;-)    }  Or maybe the article was writtne by a pro AMD guy.  Well thanks for the help everyone!

It's been a while, but I seem to rememner reading something about that in an article about the mistakes intel made designing the P4. Put "pentium 4" into google and read some of the things there.
