I'm seriously considering upgrading my current Pentium IV to this http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=19-116-171&DEPA=0. My current processor has 512KB of level two cache, but this one has 1024, however my motherboard manuel says that the ZIF socket on it is designed for socket 478 Pentium IV with 512KB L2 cahce. My question is would it really matter if I got this processor with 1024KB L2 cache or would I have problems, or have no performance boost at all.
