Stepping list for Athlon 2400+ Thorton...?

[Guest]

I understand that the early editions of the Athlon XP 2400+ Thorton could
have the L2 cache re-enabled from 256KB to 512KB. I was wondering if there
was a stepping list somewhere to indicate those it was possible with, as
later 2400+ Thortons were locked at 256KB.

TIA

There's no reliable list. Simply because many steppings have both locked and
unlocked chips. The only way to be sure is to get a week 35 (of 2003 ) or
earlier chip. Also note that it's not 100% certain that the disabled cache
is any good (ie: may need more voltage to be stable, or may never become
stable).
