thats why the EE (extreme edition) p4's have the larger cache, utilized for oc'in and games over the 1mb cache prescotts, but beleive me its not the worth the extra hundreds...

its 179 for the 1MB and one 225 for the 2MB one....im not lookin for a EE edition, thats for sure. waste of money. but a 3.0 that i can OC with some PC3700 ram might be good eh? or neh? how much do you think it could be OC'ed on stock cooling?
and yes.....im sure they dig it....bigger cache, bigger man...simple logic! | |
