Bonjour everyone! First post here, straight from Montreal Canada!
I'd like to have your opinion for my little dillema. I plan on upgrading my computer soon and I'm not sure what CPU to choose. I'm a occasionnal gamer and I want to buy either a Duron 1200 MHz or a Thunderbird 1000MHz since there cheap enough for me and there around the same price.
The Duron has 64 Kb of L2 cache mem while the T-Bird has 256Kb, which I heard is important for 3D frame rate
Is the 200 MHz make up for the lack of cache mem or is L2 cache mem more important for 3D gaming?
Or am I completely lost in this technical mumbo jumbo?
Thanks!
