    Win 8 BIOS Help
    « on: September 09, 2013, 10:04:08 PM »
    New Toshiba Satellite C55-A, Win 8, i3

    My L3 Cache not showing up on Belarc or HWiNFO scan. Suggestion is to change Limit CPUID Maximum Function to Disabled but I can't locate it in the BIOS. Can anyone tell me how to access that?

    TIA

    Please explain. Is there a problem with you new machine? If so, take it back ASAP.

    But programs like Belarc are for helping a tech solve a problem. What is the problem? And why should you resolve it instead of Toshiba?

    D you have the documentation. I have to ask, because in the past some people come here with new laptops and no documentation. Which is odd.

    But I want to help. Please explain the problem.

    Try holding down the F2 key and then turn on the computer.

    I wouldn't be concerned about it, the programs you're using probably just aren't seeing it properly.  Check using CPU-Z, as that tends to be the best thing to get specific CPU information, but I wouldn't be inclined to worry that your L3 cache is somehow missing or disabled.
