Hi,
I have a freind willing to buying my computer for a very good price my question is now that my computer specs currently are:
- Asus K8N-E Deluxe Socket 754
- AMD Althon 64 3400+ 1Mb L2, Clawhammer
- Radeon 9600 256MB
- 1GB (2x512mb) of Corsair PC3200 DDR RAM
- Maxtor 80GB 8MB Cache 7200RPM
- 550 Watt Power Supply
- 16x DVD ROM & 52x32x52x Burner
I'm alittle short on cash right now, but if my freind buys the systems I could go for this setup:
- ASUS A8N-E Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Socket 939
- AMD Althon 64 3500+ 512kb L2, Clawhammer
- Radeon X600XT 256MB DDR PCI-Express x16
- 1GB (2x512mb) of Corsair PC3200 DDR RAM
- Maxtor 80GB 8MB Cache 7200RPM
- 550 Watt Power Supply
- 16x DVD ROM & 52x32x52x Burner
Would I see that much of a difference in performance? Will the L2 cache size "downgrade" hurt? Is it worth the time and money? Sorry for the stupid questions, just wanted another opinion. :grinthumb
