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?

Just a not that the L2 is cache. And there are 3.4GHz that have L2/ 2MB. All in what you want to pay. Its gravy but for gaming AMD is a better processor but as you said you already have the motherboard for an intel. 3.4 will give you alittle bit more power than the 3.2. If you go for the 3.4 find one that has the L2 at 2 MB.
I use the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+.... Hope that helped. |
