Ive just brought the parts for a new system that I am building for myself and have decided to buy a slower processor for the simple reason that for what I do with a PC I genenerally notice the amount of RAM and the amount of time the system spends writing swap files and data to the hard disk more than out right processor speed.
I can remember upgrading from 500 mhz to a 1Ghz and the difference in performance feeling was massive however no the applications seem to run well on 1500 mhz which makes 2Ghz less impressive in performance even though there is still a 500 mhz improvement in both cases
Have processors reached a point now where the speed improvement is not largely noticable now... I think so what about you ?
