Missing MTRR ?

[J.A. MagallÃn]

Hi all...

I'm using 2.6.31.1 on a box like this:
- Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420  @ 2.13GHz (dual core)
- 4Gb RAM

I find that MTRR setup is this:
lorelei:/proc# cat mtrr
reg00: base=0x0cff00000 ( 3327MB), size=    1MB, count=1: uncachable
reg01: base=0x0d0000000 ( 3328MB), size=  256MB, count=1: uncachable
reg02: base=0x0e0000000 ( 3584MB), size=  512MB, count=1: uncachable
reg03: base=0x0cfea6000 ( 3326MB), size=    4KB, count=1: write-back

I have no mtrr for my main memory, is this a problem for speed ?
