Specs Ok, here it says that the 2600 has 640KB of cache....is this the only athlon XP with 640 cuz all I see is 512? Will that much more cache make much of a difference?

It has 128k of Level 1 cache and 512k Level 2 cache. Normally when people talk about cache, they only mention the L2 cache size.
edit: and no, it wouldn't make much difference even if it did have the extra cache.
Oh ok thanx...so do the others just not mention the L1 cache?

i'd take a 2500 over a 2600, and a 2700 over a 2500 (if only because i have a 2700 )Originally posted by bigdawgfoxx@1 November 2003 - 19:43

It depend on weather the 2600 is Barton or TB which can has a massive impact on performance.
The Barton does have the option of DDR FSB, which is nice, I upgraded recently to the 2500 Barton, and I really saw a speed increase. Only thing I don't like about the Barton, is promoted like its a 333 mhz front side bus.
While it is being pumped at double the rate to give 333 mhz fsb, its really only 166. I think they should mention that, on websites you purchase it from.
Just one of my pet pevs. sorry.
