I think my Q6600 is broken!

kongwill · 01-24-2008, 05:15 AM

the Q6600 is suppose to have 2x4mb caches but when i check out my system specs through 3dmark06 is says cache level 1: 32kb, cache level 2: 4mb. I think its suppose to be 4mb for both =\. I have a nforce 680iLTsli mobo, 8800gts ssc 640mb, 2x1gb corsair xms2 6400 and a Q6600 (not oc'd or anything). Both the cpu tests on 3dmark06 also run at 0-2fps the whole time. Im wondering if this is normal.

nope, its fine. its a "quad core", which is actually two dual cores slapped together on one chip. this means that you have 2x l2 cache, 4x2=8mb cache.

I belive you're getting that due to the type of benchmark you're using. I believe it doesnt show you what you have, more or less what you're using. its more of a gaming benchmark.
