Hi, i just found out that windows xp isnt using the L2 cache memory. (its default on 0 @ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management\SecondLevelDataCache
Why is this? and does this mean that other applications wont use it either?
Thanks already as basicly
Last I knew the operating system didn't have any access to L2 cache. I thought that was the job of the processor.
Maybe read what 0 means?
According to this, it means "go ask the hardware" for the real size.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
