I've just built a new system comprising of: Asus a7v8x-x Athlon 2600XP+ CPU GeForce 5200 128Mb Mr problem is that i've just benchmarked the CPU and it shows that the L2 cache is 256 when it should be 512 - anyone know why that is? Also, i got these settings from the BIOS, can anyone tell me if these sound right cos i'm not sure: clock speed = 2083 12.5 x 166/33 Thanks in advance Lee

The 2600+ is a tbred, which has 256kb l2 cache. It was made in a 2.08g, 166fsb version and a 2.13g, 133fsb version. Your 2.08/166 is the better of the two.
