amd64 3200 or 3000

danbanger · 29-May-04, 01:26 AM

My friend wants a amd64 system and I'm wondering how much of a difference the 1mb l2cache of the 3200 to the 3000 512 L2 cache makes a difference? I told him if he gets a 3000 he can OC it to 3200 speeds.

What speed difference? They're both clocked the same. Also the 1mb on the clawhammers compared to the newcastles is very negligable.

ADD - make sure you get a motherboard with the NF 250. Your options are gigabyte and Chaintech atm, but both are performing very well.

what kind of PSU do you have? http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...129-127&DEPA=1 is that 380 enough to support his system? He's planning to get a 9800pro.

Or this would be more suitable huh http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...129-120&depa=1

Eh.. I'm limited by this Antec Aria case and my form factor limits O/C options to none so 300 watts works in my case.

nah just get the 3000 - its very OC'able to 3200 speed if needed, and will save a few $ thats for sure.

What about the new K8T880s? how do they fair against NF3 250s?

Also a Vante ION-B400w PSU would support that system, 9800Pro if he wants some OCAbility I recomend the Hightech IceQ (the one I have) it comes with a VGA Silencer and BGA Sinks without voiding the warranty.

As for RAM I would go OCZ PC3700EB

WTH is with you people saying "to 3200 speed" - they are both the same speed!!!!

But I'd get the NVidia 250 over the new VIA chipset. 250GB (if available... big IF) when you order because of it's nice extras.

Clock a 3000 to 3200.
