okay, i was helping my sis's friend re-format her computer and it kept restarting, so i turned off the external cache,...but i thought to myself din't only the socket 7's pII and pIII kumati cores have that. anyways disabled it and it runs nice i think it's an athlon @ 1.0 ghz, anyways the mobo has some numbers on it it's a via north bridge is covered with a orange heat sink, south bridge has numbers as fallowed vt82c686a and on the board it says k7vza rev 1.0 ....so any idea what's up with the external l2 cache
 
If you have a Athlon K75 then it has 512K external inclusive L2 cache if you have a Athlon Thunderbird it has 256K internal inclusive L2 cache
