    As I use TuneUp Utilities 2009 to customize Windows, I came across "System Information" tab so I clicked on it.
    About CPU it says:
    L1 Cache: 512KB
    L2 Cache: 32KB
    L3 Cache: Not Available

    Hmmm.. wasn't L2 cache supposed to be 512KB?

    Here's a CPUz screenshot of the Atom in my Aspire.

    As you can see, your assumptions are correct. The L1 cache is 32kb, L2 is 512kb. That program is reporting incorrect information.
