Hi. I have a Toshiba Satellite 1605cds with an AMD K6-2 CPU.
I'd like to be able to temporarily disable the L1 cache so that I can run some older games. Some games run with graphical glitches, some give me a runtime error or divide by zero error, or run too fast.
On another computer (a P2-300) I've found that these games run flawlessly if I disable the L1 cache in the cmos setup.
However, the satellite does not have this option in the cmos setup. I've found and tried the program "setmul" but it gave me an error indicating that it doesn't support cache disabling on an AMD K2-6 CPU.
I have found some technical documents on the CPU and it appears that the CPU does have the ability for its cache to be disabled but so far I haven't found any program that will do it.
If anyone has any other cache disabling software that I might try I'd love to give it a shot.
