Is there too much diference between amd64 3000+ amd64 3200+ for day to day use??
I know 3200+ has 1 Mb L2 cache instead of 512kb like 3000+, but does it really make such a big diference for day to day use ??
Thanxz

From what i've heard, it only makes about a 5% difference... but i would imagine it really depends on what sorts of things you do with it.

I know it's in French, but the figure speak for themselves...

and following pages...

The A64 3000 is very similar to the A64 3200 performance wise. Worst case is 5.7% slower. But anyway 8.8% faster than AthlonXP 3200+, for the same price tag.
