DL #1 CacheHit v1.0

Compatibility
Architecture: PPC

The PowerPC 601 chip which is in most of the PowerMacs now shipping,
has a L1 cache inside the CPU which is 32K in size. A second level
cache, L2, is an option on some of these models, see below, and is
designed to help speed up your machine by making data available faster
to the CPU since it is held in a 10ns(or 12ns) L2 cache rather than in
main memory, which is 80ns. Second level cache's are usually between
256K to 1024K in size. The original 6100/60 and 7100/66 PowerMacs came
without a L2 cache, while the 8100/80 had a 256K second level cache.
The newer 6100/66 and 7100/80 both come with a 256K second level
cache.
