Enabling the L2 Cache
The latest version of the PowerLeap CPU Control Panel enables the PPGA
Celeron�s L2 cache when run with a PL-Pro/II CPU upgrade.
Note: The L2 cache for FC-PGA Celerons (700MHz,
633MHz) is automatically enabled so there is no need to
enable it in the PowerLeap CPU Control Panel.
The PL-Pro/II requires the CPU Control Panel to configure and enable the
PPGA Celeron's L2 cache, which most Pentium Pro system BIOSes can't do by
themselves.
Note: For Japanese NEC-98 systems, there are additional
useful utilities to do the job (Windows 95, 98 , Windows NT
(4.0 and up), and Windows 2000):

Increasing the L2 Cache Latency
The WCPUL2 utility allows you to increase the L2 cache latency, which may help
in cases where the system becomes unstable with the PL-Pro/II installed. This
utility runs on Windows 95, 98 and Windows NT (4.0 and up), Windows 2000 in
both Japanese and English languages.
