Ive looked all over and every link i find is dead or too little detail..
Can some on give me detailed instructions on how to enable the L2 cache on a TP770X with PIII 500E soon to be 750Mhz while only running Xubuntu 10.04? I'm pretty new to linux.

I used this method on my 600E with various versions of Ubuntu:
Download pIIIcache2.6.tar.gz. Open a terminal and cd (change directory) to the folder that has the file.
$ sudo tar xf pIIIcache2.6.tar.gz
$ cd pIIIcache2.6
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo modprobe pIIIcache
$ sudo nano -w /etc/modules
Add pIIIcache to list of modules; save and exit.
To check if L2 cache is enabled, install x86info
$ sudo apt-get install x86info
$ x86info -c
Reboot & check if L2 is enabled. pm me if you can't find the pIIIcache2.6.tar.gz file.

Sweet, thank you
I will try it out asap, I first have to find a way to keep the PIII 750Mhz cool.
