How to Enable Additional 256KB of L2 Cache on AMD Athlon XP

Just got word from Anton Shilov at Xbitlabs.com that he's thrown up their new guide that will show you How To Enable the Additional 256KB of L2 Cache on you're AMD Athlon XP Processors Model 10! Here's a snip.

AMD Athlon XP processors Model 10 with 256KB of L2 cache appeared on the horizon sometimes after the launch of Barton in the first quarter of the year. The chips were based on the Barton design with disabled 256KB of L2 and a bit lowered speeds compared to the high-end AMD CPUs.

Due to the fact that the devices essentially utilize “Barton” core, but have only 256KB of L2, just like the “Thoroughbred” microprocessors, the AMD Athlon XP Model 10 with 256KB of L2 are generally recognized under the “Thorton” CPUs.
