ok guys, doing a bit of research in case the summer has enough overtime to afford a bigger upgrade than a highend agp card. i've got a couple questions regarding the opty 144 and venice 3000+
1st- is the opty's extra l2 cache worth paying for, and why? right now, there's a ~$50 price difference on newegg.
2nd- aside from the unlocked multi [and the extra cache of course], are there any other pros to going with the opty over the venice?
i know am2 is right around the corner, but i'm not ready to upgrade that much. i just got a set of ballistix that needs to be used for a while
