I ordered a cpu and board from Newegg to upgrade my second system. The location of the PC is one where good air flow and cooling is not the best, so I went with Intel for that reason only.
My question is, what is the true performance difference difference between the 1.6 with 256k or 512k cache? Since temperature is a concern the cpu will run at stock specs- not overclocked. It is too late to change it so I guess it really doesn't matter now, but I suppose whatever performance gains I see will be a lot better than the PIII-550 that I am using.
This is (or will be) it when arrives:
MB 845D|6P1A2D P4B266-C ASUS
CPU P4/1.60G 400MHZ 478PIN 256K
DDRAM 256MB|32X64 PC-2100 CRUCIAL
FAN FANNER|COOLER SPEEZE
Thanks -
