Angry_Games Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 yep, newcaslte = 512k L2, Clawhammer = 1MB L2 not really much difference...if you are really wanting to overclock, I saw a mobile 3200/3400 clawhammer between the price of the 3400 NC and the 3700 but i always get retail cpu's with 3 year warranties i use Enermax adjustable 92mm fans (i always buy my heatsinks/fans from www.svc.com...the XP-90 is only $24.99 there) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
