I'm a little bit of a laymen when it comes to computer hardwear. I'm building my first comp and it's about time to look at processors. So I had a question for you guys. Would I get better performance out of, say, a 3.2Ghz P4 w/2MB L2 or a 3.4Ghz w/1MB L2. I'm trying to figure out how heavilly to way the impact of the L2 cash, mainly on gaming, when trying decide what will give me the best bang for my buck. So what do yall think?

I'd go for a larger L2 cache if i were u. of course, not being you, i went for amd.
u can get better performance from the 3.2GHz if fte fsb is 800MHz. else, the fsb will slow you down more than the L2 cache |
