I've been reading these forums for a good while and been reading Anand, for a good year and I've noticed that L2 cache really doesnt count for much, and thats where my question comes from, I'm looking to buy a dual core athlon system, and while I know that it's not a cheap option I do have enough money at least for a 4400 or 4200, now I'm gonna halfway answer my own question, but would I be better off buying a 4200 with it's 512 of L2 and OCing to just 2.6 and essentially have the performance of a 4800?? Or should I get a 4400 (with 1mb of L2) and OC to 2.6.....I mean the 4400 wont be *that* much faster would it??
And a side question....what mobo should I get for ease of use and best OC ability?(counting in good RAM)
