Hardware Tweaking Utilities

WCPUID is a very well known piece of software in the AT community. It's small, but effective in what it does. I went to H. Oda's (The Maker of WCPUID) webpage and discovered a few more nice little tweaking utilities made by him. Such as a program to rewrite the latencies of your L2 cache on a P2/P3/Celeron. As well, you can control to speed of your L2 with an Athlon. There are a few more. Go check it out at: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002374/src/download.html. Oh yeah, and overclock at your own risk. I am personally a little scared to mess with an L2 cache I know very little about. It would be cool to be able to overclock your CPU and then overclock the L2 cache to a syncrhonous frequency though!
 
That L2 cache mod. for the Athlon is for the Slot A athlons that had the 512k cache that was off the die, on the PCB board.
 
Oh well. I still think it is a pretty nifty little program for those that are still running that setup. The L2 cache latency rewriter for the Intel CPU's is cool too.

It can come in quite helpful especially if your looking to o/c a little further. Most respectable boards marketed towards enthusiasts have the capability to adjust the L2 cache latency in the BIOS though.
