whats better

[Arm_Pit]

a 2700+ at 2.2ghz with 1MB of cache, or 3800+ @ 2.4ghz with 512kb of cache?

if the 3800+ is an X2
then it's better
remember it's dual core
and i think you meant to say 3700+ not 2700+

 

[Arm_Pit]

No, I meant to say 3700+ and I ment to say 3800+ both single core. They both exist as single core Athlon 64's.

as i expected you mean 3700+
and there is a 3800+ Athlon64 and Athlon64 X2

 

[Arm_Pit]

Sorry, I read it wrong. I thought you meant, I think you meant to say 2700 not 3700. Sorry, I didn't relize I said 2700 untill now. I was thinking you must have been on crack My bad, I misread.

So, I'm talking about a 3700 @ 2.2ghz with 1MB of cache, and a 3800+ @ 2.4 with 512MB of cache.

Depends on what. Have a looksie here.

 

[Arm_Pit]

In general, and gaming i guess.

 

[robina_80]

id say the higher clock speed not the size of the cache

in gaming, get a dual core, x2 3800, only like $150,
its so cheap, worth paying bit extra to get that
rather than one of those single cores,...
