P3 L2 Cache ECC?

[Technoid]

Has anyone tested if it makes a speed difference enabled/disabled?

Ecc might be neccesay on a P3 1 GHz but is it criticaly on a 550Mhz?

AFAIK, you can't disable ECC with a P3 (command is ignored).

Does the L2 cache memory have ECC?? I can't find a thing about it on the Intel site.

Thanks for the info!

Jord, I found at least one Intel document clearly stating that the P3 L2 implements ECC... the box

Yes boys and girls, 512 KB of ECC goodness is included.

Can you at least point me to that document?

You want me to show you my box? :P

Anyway, I'll put you on a track. Look here and check the Notes.
