I have an older PC I was fiddling with and looking to just update the processor and ram to the best the motherboard can support, and I have noticed something that is confusing me.
This is my MSI older motherboard.

The supported CPU list is showing me something confusing.
I ran CPU-z on my rig and I currently have a Phenom X4 9550 (Agena)
Cpu-z is stating my L2 cache is 512 and L3 is 2meg.
I am going to use this a spare CAD computer.
AutoDESK support says one of the most beneficial elements of a processor for AutoCAD is its Cache.
I wonder why the supported CPU list shows my processor at 2meg L2 cache when cpu-z is not showing that.
Other then helping me to solve that, is there really another processor worth stepping up to that I would actually notice a difference with for this motherboard?
Yes I know I should get a new motherboard but at the moment that isnt an option.
Thanks in advance guys!
