Morgan vs Thunderbird.

[RoadWarrior]

Hi guys,

My budget looks like getting me either a 1G-1.2G Moggie, or a 1G-1.2G 200 Thud. Now I've been looking around the reviews on Toms and other places, and see some moggie scores beating thuds, and some thud scores beating moggies.

So I was wondering what benchmarks are the ones to look at for telling the difference between the ones that favour the thud because of more cache and the ones that favour the newer features in the morgan.
Also are there any indications that newer games etc will take better advantage of a morgan than a thunderbird due to SSE support etc.?
Also what are the morgans looking like for overclockability, there are many thunderbird results available, but the morgans being newer don't seem to have many results in yet. Are there any places to look other than the main site's ocdb, which only has a couple of morgans in it?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Road Warrior

There was a thread some time ago that discussed which was faster, morgan or athlon, and the gist of it is that the Athlon still wins...

Yep, Athlon TB still wins because of the bigger cache size.

the morgans will be as difficult to unlock as the xps, and they have much less cache than the tbirds. i doubt a few extra sse instructions are going to make a bigger difference than the lack of cache, so i'm pretty sure the tbird would be a faster processor.
