All right guys, i have a choice to make.
on one hand i have a hyper-threaded p4 800mhz fsb Northwood
on the other i have a hyper-threaded p4 800mhz fsb Prescott
Both are 2.8ghz.
Which would you choose and why?
I'm thinking the Prescott because of the increased L2 cache and SSE3 instructions. But the increased heat might be a problem. Keep in mind that this is a 478 socket, and i don't have to upgrade anything.
