Go up one level in this thread

Something that's interesting is that HIARCS used to run much faster on a Mac
than on a PC, and I believe the reason was the much larger L2 cache on the Mac.
So this big L3 cache will probably help for HIARCS again. I doubt it would give
much benefit for other chess programs, though. Most data I've seen indicates
that chess programs run almost as well on Celerons and Durons with very small L2
caches as they do on the cachier Pentiums and Athlons.
