Enable L2Cache.....in Windows XP/2000


Recommended Posts

From Tweaktown.com

The L2, or second-level, cache, is an integral part of your CPU. However, XP is very shoddy at detecting it, so setting it manually is sometimes necessary. It's easy to do, though, you simply have to navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management

in the registry and find the value SecondLevelDataCache. You must then adjust it to the value (in kilobytes) of the L2 Cache of your processor.

Look a here cowboy......you want a scientific proof.....then use "trial and error." Try the son of a b*tch out and if it don't do anything for you then that's your problem.....Not mine. I get much better performance.......what you still want numbers? Well too bad 'cause I got a life and I got stuff to do....girlfriends to do and that type of stuff. Give it a try. There's nothing more I can tell you!

I don't understand that the only way people can get rid of their own lack of knowledge is by being rude on various community groups.

By the way have you ever tried a utility (Free) which is called Mathlon that allows you to choose the speed of your L2 Cache where a lot of misbehaving is caused by the L2 is running to fast this utility will reconize most CPU'sbelow is the site you can download it from:

:) :) :)

some people just won't listen to the facts. fact: enabling the L2 cache boosts performance. There's no other way of me providing scientific proof than that. I didn't invent it...I'm just putting to use. And if you think I'm being rude....well then you try and explain to someone why Microsoft doesn't have it enabled by default. Hell who cares why!!! I don't work at microsoft and I don't care....just getting it to work is fine by me.

I did the tweak as you said I enteren 256 as decimal but when I open the thread again it goes to hex and it is 100.

That is the way it is supposed to be. The hex value is 100 and the decimal value is 256. If you made the hex value 256 then the decimal value would be 598.

it should say "SecondLevelDataCache"=dword:00000256 after you're done. Just enter 256 after going to modify by right clicking.

Well, if i enter 256 in Decimal...it doesn't turn out to be dword:00000256 , but instead it appears as:

"dword:00000100(256)"

???

    • They are still b-hurt about Apple allowing users to block their ability to see what you do across other apps too. Did Android also get this functionality? It’s been a while since using it.
    • Meta's next chatbot might message you first and want to keep talking to you by Usama Jawad Original robot image designed by Freepik Chatbots have been on the rise ever since the meteoric rise of ChatGPT back in January 2023. While large language models (LLMs), the technology powering chatbots, has various other use-cases, one of the most popular scenario for AI involvement continues to be chatbots. Now, it appears that Meta is considering making AI assistants even more proactive and talkative in future iterations. Leaked documents seen by Business Insider indicates that Meta is training AI chatbots that can message you unprompted to bring up past topics. Internally, the initiative is known as "Project Omni", and its aim is to increase user retention and engagement by providing more value to customers. Examples of proactive messages from the chatbot include an inquiry into your discovery of any new music composers, or checking if you require any movie recommendations for the night. A Meta spokesperson confirmed these plans to the news outlet, saying that "Like many companies, we're testing follow-up messaging with AIs in Meta's AI Studio. After you initiate a conversation, AIs in Meta AI Studio can follow up with you to share ideas or ask additional questions. This allows you to continue exploring topics of interest and engage in more meaningful conversations with the AIs across our apps." Contractors from data labeling firm Alignerr are reportedly helping Meta build different personas that can interact with the user. Once these capabilities become generally available in AI Studio, they will allow customers to create personalized chatbots that are specialized in particular areas, such as responding to fan messages across Meta's social media networks. It is important to note that this project is in active development, but an Alignerr contractor noted that it's been given to them as a "long-term project". The Meta spokesperson specified that follow-up messages to a conversation will only be sent on threads originally initiated by the user. If the user does not respond to this follow-up, no other messages will be sent. Follow-ups will be sent within 14 days of the original message and in order to be eligible, you have to have sent at least five messages to the chatbot in the previous two weeks. Other guidelines in the requirements document emphasize the need for the follow-up conversation to be positive, personalized, avoid harmful or sensitive content, and refer to something concrete from previous conversations. It will be interesting to see if this new way of interaction with AI chatbots changes the way we engage with them.
    • It would make more sense to do that, but instead it looks like he wants the batch script to display a message telling him to manually enable the VPN rather than getting the batch script to connect it for him.
    • With laws changing, they (tech companies) may need to pivot fast to ID checking. They (generally speaking) don’t want to hold that info due to accountability, penalties for data breaches. It also helps if they can comply but not know who when law comes asking. @RejZor
