[G4] MDD L2, L3 cache switch off at startup. Does it matter?

[Eric Wood]

Perhaps it is Apple's CPU preference pane that's installed with the CHUD
tools, which in turn come from the free Developer Tools? I know that
that offers cache control. All you need to do for that is sign up for a
free Apple Developer Account and you can download the latest Xcode and
such.

As for the cache turning off after a reboot again, sounds like that
Mac's firmware doesn't quite like the newer CPU. Might be an update to
fix that - who knows?
