are these differences worth it?

[Snakexor]

would the differnce in l2 cache between the palermo core 2600+ and the 2800+ be worth 10 dollars?

im gettin a new bfg6800gt agp and want a good cooling solution...ive heard that the nv5rev2 doesnt make full contact w/ the gpu because of the memory pads...and in order to touch the gpu, you must take them off....anyone have any experiences with this? is it true?

can you still unlock agp x800pros and mod them to a x800xtpe?
also in regards to the vf700, is there a major difference between the cooper and the alcu hsf....and would the same go for the 7700??

thanks kids

1. Get a Barton core
2. Get the MSI. It has a good colling solution already
3. Yes.

i take it the nv5rev2 doesnt make good contact

why get a barton, the sempron will be faster and cheaper im sure...

and what is yes answering, the x800pros can still be unlocked?

1. YES
2. My NV5 rev2 is giving me better than stock temps.
3. Only vivo X800s can be unlocked.

repost...

And I would get the ALCU over the CU cuz its lighter and cheaper and not much of a temp difference

 

[SonicIce]

uh i though socket A was pretty much dead because you can get a cheap 754 cpu and some $50 mobo for the same price.

 

[Snakexor]

i plan on getting a 3100+ rev E 754 sempron and o/cin it on the dfi board

ill be using it with a x850xt that im gettin for $200 from work

would you recommend the ati silencer 5 or the zalman alcu/cu vid cooler
