Anyone know of a utility to check if L2 is ok? I'd like to be 100% sure before RMA this Duron of mine.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: This is what WCPUID tells me at the moment:

Whats wrong with it? It looks all fine to me..128k L1 and 64k L2...
My thunderbird reads exactly the same in WCPUID except for the 256k L2.

It's the 2-Mbyte/4-Mbyte Pages that says Off and 0 entries that worries me.

Mine says the same thing for those entries.(Thunderbird 700)
Everything seems to be working fine here. Wonder what it is though

Thanks a lot scotter, I tried the proggy with either the L2 enabled or disabled from bios and I saw no difference. The same happens with everything else I've tried. It just make no difference if I disable the L2.
I remember a classic Athlon I once disabled the L2 and took half an hour to boot.

So, what do you all say?

I'd say if it's enabled in the BIOS, it's working. Alot of diagnostic programs get things wrong or don't report properly.
