I will be purchasing a new pc, with the specs of this:
ASPIRE ATX-AS600W-BL ATX12V/ EPS12V 600W Power Supply,
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
eVGA Geforce 7800GTX
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3250823AS 250GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive
Thermaltake Tenor VB2000BNS Black Aluminum/Steel ATX Desktop Computer Case
now for my processor I have narrow it down to two:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Manchester
or the
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Toledo
With the only difference is the L2 Cache. Will I really need an extra 1md of l2 cache if I go with the 4800+? I will be both gaming and multiprocessing quit a bit(Well not at the same time,though). Also could you please define more of the L2 Cache. I have the basic idea of, just cant really grasp it.
Thx for those who can help.
P.S.> If anyone at the top of their head could think of some good memory ram to go with this beast, that would be helpful too.
I almost forgot, read somewhere on this forum, that more cache help OCing easier, How so? I will be OCing, but with the AI doing it for me from Asus. Maybe later on in the future, dont want to burn out the cpu/memory.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by quicksilver17 on 09/07/05 03:43 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
