I don't think you can turn it on and off on the Dell. I have the 8100.

Well, they ain't no pentium.

I have 8 kb L1 and 256 kb L2. When you hit F2 look at the top of the

http://www.belarc.com/ and download the advisor....it will tell you just
about everything about your computer, including how much L1 and L2
you have on board.
