Unable to turn off L1 and/or L2 cache for Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard and Athlon 64 X2 Manchester 3800+ processor ?

Hello,

I own:

an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard
and
an Athlon 64 X2 Manchester 3800+ processor.

I would like to see what effect turning off the L1 and/or the L2 cache for
the processor has on program performance.

I checked the bios setup screen and I also checked the manual.

I didn't find any options to turn it off (?)

Is there a way to turn it off and back on again ?

Bye,
Skybuck.

Skybuck, of all the nitwit ideas and pointless ramblings I've seen you post
over the years, this is right up there with the best. Plus the fact that you
posted it to a videocard ng is just icing on the cake. If went out and
bought a new Z06 Corvette or Ferrari 430, you could always pull 3 plug wires
and drive around to get a feel for what would happen.

Thank you for the complement.

Is that big dick that's stuck in your ass telling you crazy things again ?

You know damn well nvidia designed the chipset for my motherboard and this
is the only nvidia newsgroup and I wonder if nvidia tested their chipset
with the american megatrends bios (amibios) ?

Or did they have big dick up their ass like you as well and were to busy
sucking off sperm from each other's dick instead of testing testing testing
there expensive chipsets ?

Does that sound reasonable to you ?

Bye,
Skybuck.

Even without needing the options you can get a feel.. buy an old 486-33,
and run your programs on that ;-)
Honestly, switching off L1 and L2 cache will slow your programs down
probably 50 fold or so.

You won't because they're part of the CPU instead of the motherboard
and also it's one of the most stupid ****ing pointless ideas ever.

I'm keenly anticipating the post asking about how to remove or disable the
cache memory from his HDD to check application performance.

Yank hard on the CPU heatsink until the socket comes off, this will diabled
the L2 L1

You know, I thought about replying to this well reasoned line of logic,
but....nahhh. You've pretty much said it all yourself.

Blocking SF is one of the wisest newsgroups actions a person can take.

I looked in here and don't see a method of doing it directly.
