I'm just wondering if one were to buy a cpu right now which would be the best route to go?
I know the P4 E has 1mb cache and the P4 C has 512kb cache, and thee different cores, but what is the advantage of having a Prescott ? Which is better for overclocking.
Then there is the AMD Athlon 64, other than being a 64bit processor what are the advantages of the cpu? I dont see an abundance of 64 bit apps comming out any time soon, and when Windows 64 bit does come out it will still take prolly a year for major apps to be made for 64bit am i right?
So bottom line, if a person wants mad overclocking, and fast performance.
What to go with?

Check this out....... I replaced the low end copper cooler with a TT Spark 7 on the P4 2.8E Prescott, new coat of AS5 and it now runs @ 52'c while folding (still not cured)(was at 50'c idle with the other cooler).
Whats interesting is that in prep to doing the Artic Cooling VGA Silencer Rev.3 on my 9600XT, I rebuilt my AMD 2500+Barton, with the SLK800U and a new coat of AS5....while folding...this processor has yet to hit 35'c!!!
And, thats been verified by the ASUS Probe, BIOS & temp probe from my DigiDoc 5.
Can you say "Happy Camper"?? _________________ Two wrongs don't make a right!
