my barton is a fre'kin T-bred

3rd April 2003, 23:14

hi ya'll, I finally got my new rig. (like 15minutes ago)

I ordered a barton(2800+), I saw the core: it was a barton !

But my comp says it has only 256Kb cache

weird !! barton = 512 :grum:

cpu speed= 2.2 gig

weird !! barton = 2 gig

now, did the guy made a mistake or does my cpu has alzheimer ??

thx!

where does your "comp" say it is only 512kb ?

RichBa5tard · 3rd April 2003, 23:27

can you show us a WCPUID screenie?

3rd April 2003, 23:37

I'm not a noob !

I ran WcpuID and it said: 256Kb cache and 2.2Ghz
I ran 3d-mark: it said 256 2.2Ghz

I think there are 2 solutions: or, my barton is missing half of it's cache

uke:

or it isn't a barton and I payed to much.

And btw, what's better: barton 2Ghz or T-bred 2.2Ghz ?

Tbred will be faster

again: what motherboard/bios rev?
