Lack of L2 cache on the CPU is a problem, in that it makes
the CPU significantly slower. However, earlier socket 7
cpus didn't have L2 cache integral either, so at least your
motherboard does have L2 cache on it. You do not need to
change any board bios settings for the L2 cache, certainly
it was enabled all these years with you Cyrix CPU (else it
would've ran so slow it wasn't useable at all) and remains
enabled unless you manually disable it.
