OK well im ordering my cpu tonight(amd 64 3500+) and was wondering...

should i go with 3700+ instead..I was thinking about this because the only main difference is 3500+ is 512 cache and 3700+ is 1mb cache

and the 3500+ cost is....220 (USD)...not counting shipping

and the 3700+ is .......250 (USD)....not counting shipping
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1366616&CatId=0

do you guys think another 512kb of cache is worth the extra 30 bucks??

thanks for looking...

as in whats the difference??
 
i mean it is only $30 more so go with that one
but u could get the 3500 and then over clock it and it will run like the 3700 so yeah
 
ok well ill just go with the 3700+ because I was going to pay about 230ishh for the 3500 and this 3700 i found is about 10 bucks more than what i was going to pay...

oh btw..could you help me choose a OS..

The are already running a the same speed, you can overclock the cache.

But the price performance delta is amount equal, so you are getting what you pay for, that is for a little extra cash you're getting a little extra performance, is it worth it? in my mind no, but its only $30
 
go with the 3700+ and o/c it to 4000+ speeds. (200mhz increase)
buy it from newegg, theyre the same proc. tigerdirect always has slightly higher prices than newegg, but sometimes offers a wider variety.

however... dual core is a nice thought.
