ooztuncer Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I got my new x2 3800 from d@ll today - CCBWE 0532MPMW :confused: I know that other people (found a good deal on fw) are getting 0601 X... Do you think is it a returned item (kinda refurbished) or they start to buy from poor retailers Anybody with big ears? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Games Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 X2 cpu's are either 512k L2 each core or 1MB L2 each core like some older Newcastle 3500+'s that were actually Clawhammer cores with half their cache disabled, sometimes an X2 might be cut on the Toledo die but be a Manchester Opterons are always 1MB L2 each core as far as I know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
