Performance hit?

[Gusty987]

How much of a performance hit will I see in games like Flight Sim 2004, BF1942, Call of Duty, BFV, etc. if I go with an
A64 3000+ instead of a 3200+? This will be coupled with a 9800P and 1 GB RAM.

Let me put it this way - unless you bench the two machines you probably won't notice much difference, and both will become obsloete at the same time. However, flight sims are usually CPU bound, and it's only $50 or $60 for the extra cache, so why not. Benches

Ok, cool. Thanks for the reply and the link. I love Flight sim so I'm gonna take your advice and go for the 3200+. Thx again.

You would get about a $50-$60 performance hit
Go with what you can afford.
Let us know how it runs once you get it going.
Good Luck.
