Today appeared a new interesting experiment on how to activate 6MB cache in the third level for the phenom II X4 810 (2.6 GHz) processor, which regularly must have only four mega-byte of cache in the third level.
The motherboard ASRock AOD790GX/128M with the 1.40 bios version for this processor unexpectedly showed the presence of 6 MB cache instead of regular 4 MB. The presence of 6 MB cache was also noted in the system performance.
The author of experiment, failed in revealing the contributing factor for the additional cache volume , but after resetting the CMOS , the processor returned to the standard characteristics with four MB cache in the third level.
