[TCS]BlackMamba 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Right i am planning a new PC and i have decided on an AMD 64 processor i just cant decide on the speed. My 2 choices are: 2800+ £137.26 3000+ £166.60 I can afford either but i want to know if the extra money is worth the extra speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CR6 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 If you don't want to overclock, and you can afford the faster one, then the faster the better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supasniper 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 if you can streach to it going for the 3200+ is even better due to it having a 1mb cache instead of the 512 in the 2800+ and 3000+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan243 0 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Always go with the fastest processor you can afford. Actually, I personally would make that: Always go with the fastest on the market at the time you buy. But that's just me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
