Newport Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 If you are talking about the Intel Extreme Edition processors with 2 MB of lvl 3 cache, than the extra 2mb cache just makes the processor perform better with the extra onboard memory... http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-116-169&depa=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r_g Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 (edited) more people use intel cpus then amd so worker THINK before u post . Go to bestbuy and take sony for example. Every sony computer is intel, i think the only company that uses amd is compaq/hp. So amd is more for custom builders while intel is for people who dont giv a s*** about what they are getting they just want it to be "fast" Edited October 12, 2004 by r_g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 more people use AMD than Intel? haha dude who put the blinds over your eyes? Intel has always been the proc giant, but AMD with the 64's is making a huge mark lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I think about 80% of the comps that I see are intel. Only people I know with amd are people like me who built their own computer :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stachman31 Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Back on topic, I would love to try out one of those 3.2 EE chips. Unfortunately way too freaking expensive. I do a lot of video editing, so intel is the only thing I will use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBalrog Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 What intregues me is when the EE moves to a presscott-2 based core a tthe 3.7 gig level, 1066 FSB, 2 MB L2 cache ! what are they goign to ahve for L3? still 2 MB? or 3-4MB? now that will truly be extreem !!!!
