These are "gauges" which have been designed to provide you with quick answers to your performance related questions. The number of gauges in the Gauge Series will be increasing rapidly, so watch your favorite online service for new ones. These gauges are FREEWARE! Use them yourself and give them to your friends. They may not be modified, and they should always be accompanied by this text file.
Cache-22™
This application was created to provide you with the answers to two very simple questions. The first question is, "How much L1 and L2 Cache does my computer really have?", and the second is "What CPU is in this box"? These questions appear childishly easy to answer, but as you will soon see...they may not be. When Apple made it possible to add L2 Cache to their new line of PowerPC computers back in 1994, everyone saw it as a very positive step for the performance oriented user. Now a user could add 256K, 512K or even 1MB of Cache to their new computer. But here is where people began running into problems. If you are the MIS Director or work for the IS Department, and you have say...twenty-five PowerPCs, how do you quickly determine which ones have L2 Cache Modules and which do not? Or better yet, how do you quickly determine which two machines have the 1MB Cache Modules? Up until now it has been a real chore. You had to take each box apart and physically inspect them for cache modules. No longer! Cache-22 provides an answer in under 6 seconds, as to what amount, if any, of L2 Cache is in a computer. It also informs you as to what CPU is in the computer you are testing. The reasons for displaying the CPU information are covered above in the Clockometer™ description.
