<font color=green>Time to cache out Q. When I boot my Pentium 4 PC, it says, "Cache memory bad." Isn't the cache in the CPU now? Does that mean the CPU is bad? A. When a system starts, the BIOS performs a comprehensive Power-On Self-Test (POST). If the BIOS finds any problems, it displays the error on the monitor. A "Cache memory bad" error means the L2 cache is defective. For socket-7 motherboards (which hold Pentium, Pentium MMX, AMD K6, AMD K6-2, AMD K6-3, Cyrix 6x86, and Cyrix MII processors), the L2 cache sits separately on the motherboard. In this case, you can simply replace the L2 cache. (Check with the motherboard manufacturer for more information.) But most newer CPUs (Pentium II and later) have the L2 cache built in, so you must replace the processor outright. computers.cnet.com FWIW INTC shipping all P4's without testing them? Yields must be awesome on P4! or maybe not? M.
