Upgrade Decisions

[ionoxx]

Here we go... i'm getting ready to order.... need some final decisions. I need some opnions.

Here's what I'm getting for sure or already have.

ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe
2x 512Mb Crucial Ballistix PC3200
2x SEAGATE 250Gb 7200rpm 8M U150 SATA (# ST3250823AS)
Leadtek PX7800GT EXTREME MyVIVO
Antec Performance One P180
Antec True Power 2.0 550W EPS12V

I decided on this video card last night after another post.

Here's what I'm debating.

237$CDN, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz 512KB L2 Cache
253$CDN, AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2GHz 1MB L2 Cache

I'm planning on overclocking, will the full 1Mb of cache hinder my overclocking? I'm thinking not, but I'm just not sure. That's why I'm asking....

You have configured an excellent high end system. The 1MB of cache will not hinder your overclocking.

The 1MB Cache will perform better but I may recommned a Opteron 148 Venus core. It has 1MB cahce and is about the same price as a 3500+
