hunt3r said:At stock the 3200+ will beat the 144(2 Ghz vs 1.8) and the 3500 will beat the 146(2.2 vs 2). Difference is the opty's have 1 MB L2 cache, tho it dosent make too much of a diff in most apps.
BIKeINSTEIN said:Now i am really confused- doesn't the extra 512kb cache of the Opties translate to around +200Mhz in performance, even at stock??:S
If that is so, then 3200=144 and 3500=146!!
And then if you wanna OC, the Opty is better at it!!
Also heard that Opty SC cooler than A64!!
And i thought thats why Opty over A64!!
Someone please help me out here!!:ashamed:
Just when i think i learnt something new, i get confused again!!:ashamed:
BIKeINSTEIN said:Nah Hunter, i want to compare 3200 to 144 and 3500 to 146!!
Also 3000 to 144 and 3200 to 146, to see how much difference that extra cache gives!!
In gaming!!
