More FSB or more GHz ?

LE0O37 · 05-21-2007, 05:49 AM

Is it better to have a little more GHz and lose some FSB ? Which one is more important, GHz or FSB ?

I found some good deals where the GHz increase a little but the FSB drops to 533MHz.
Is there really a big difference from 533, to 800, or from 800 to 1066 MHz of FSB ?

As of the GHz, will there be a difference from 2.2 to 2.4 GHz ?

------The cheap AMD's average a 2.22 GHz and smaller
While The Cheap Intel's average 3.33 GHz and higher

Does that mean that Intel's budget CPU's are better ?

Let me know ?

wow, lol

First, you cant compare an AMD cpu to an Intel cpu, they both have different processors which are more efficient then others. For instance, an Athlon 64 @ 2Ghz will outperform an Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.6Ghz.

You need to tell us what processors your looking at, because theres a huge difference between a Celeron D and a Core 2 Duo.

LE0O37,

This processor ^^ in this link beats all the processors you posted, and it is cheaper

chupacabra · 05-21-2007, 10:03 PM

The newest models are either way AM2 for AMD or C2D or C2Q for intel

LE0O37 · 05-21-2007, 10:17 PM

Link doesn't work. and product # on link is invalid. Please post again.

I would like to be able to use 1gb RAM stick, that way I can add one in the future.

One other question.
L1 Cache: 24KB+32KB
L2 Cache: 2 x 1MB

Doest the L2 Cache mean that I can use up to two 1 GB RAM Stick ?

For example, L2 Cache: 2 x 512KB, means I can't use 1GB Ram Sticks, only 512 and two of them max ?

Thanks

Itanda · 05-21-2007, 10:27 PM

dude no.. Cache is totally different. L2 cache is basically the instructions for the proccessor.. All though i could be wrong..
