Pentium 4 3.8 Ghz 2MB cache ~ £80 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220318434487
Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz 2MB cache ~ £50 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134552/show_product_reviews
Celeron D 2.8 Ghz 256KB cache ~ Free Already have it
Mobo:
ASRock 775V88+ http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=775V88%2B
Am not going to upgrade my mobo or other components for a while (just recently built a new system anyway, this is just to squeeze some extra gaming from this PC ) and this mobo only accepts Celeron D or P4 single cores
Which one do you think I should go for? Is it worth £50 just to get a 0.2 Ghz upgrade (even tho its a pentium 4 vs celeron D and is a large cache upgrade!)? Or better to fork an extra £80 instead and get the 3.8Ghz? (Note that the 3.0 will come from a trusty website like eBuyer where as the 3.8 comes from ebay which can cause problems sometimes)
Any thoughts/recommendation? Thanks!
