P4 2.4C...not to exspensive right now though lol
Damn...If i hadnt just built a new system i would have gotten that for sure! lol then overclocked it alot to around 3.2 or so...would be better then what i got..but i love baby blue..(name in pending??) haha
Who says it would? You already know that the 3200+ (the speed you are running, if I'm not mistaken), and the p4 3.2 (2.4c oc'ed) perform almost the same on every gaming aspect.Quote:

Yes it was a nice price though.
The do perform almost the same??
Simply put, Yes wait till around late april to May to get a new system. im gonna get a new Motherboard, CPU, GPU, and RAM. but not DDR2 probly go with DDR400 since the price should drop a bit by then with the coming of DDR2Quote:

this puts me in an intresting position....do i wait for the next generation PCI express mobos and cards, or buy now...
Nice list Mad Cat
Lol you didn't know that? That's the reason why there aren't any 3.2GHZ AMD Athlon's (even though the actual reason is that their chipset doesn't allow for more speed :D ).Quote:

You can be happy with the processor ;)

not really. the p4 3.2 tends to get better fps and benchies than the 3200 with same specs. there's a cache difference and some other stuff. i'm ocing my cpu to at least 3.4 with my new stuff. gonna be sweet! :w00t:
the 3200 does get similar performance, but still not as good as the 3.2
I thought they both had 512KB of L2 cache..?

Hence what we (bigdawg and I) said. He asked "do perform almost the same", and I affirmed this....
I never said it performed the same or better....
