Is it worth it?

Postby Sukhoi_37 » Sat May 27, 2006 5:32 pm

I am looking at the new Orleans 3200+ and 3500+ for my new computer. Is the 3500+ worth 50 dollars more? 200MHz doesn't seem worth the cost, especially when you OC a 3200+. Any feedback is appreciated.

For gameing? Both arn't what you need. The L2 Cache size is too small. Look at the 3700+

But if you absolutely must buy one over the other see if you can find a 3500+ San Deago (if they exist. I think there are San Deago 3400+s)
