Im not up to snuff on my CPU knowledge, and im just wondering what the .90 and .13micro's mean regarding the AMD Newcastles and Winchesters. Do they have performance differences. What's the advantage of one over the other.

First its .09 and .13 , and the .09 (90nm) run cooler, OC better, and are slightly faster due to a couple of core enhancements.

Why quote that? If you dont have anything to add, dont post. I'm sorry, am I ruining your hopes of a higher post count?

Anyway, back to the posters question, there are a couple small differences, the main thing being they run a bit cooler which is a moot point since the A64 runs so cold anyway. They OC well, so if you are into that it might be worth your trouble to find a .09 if not then get whatever you can get cheaper, you arent going to notice much dif

Why post thew exact same thing that was posted above? I'm sure zakee just wanted to back up the info, since you don't want to rely on one random post from someone you don't know. You posted almost the exact same thing as the first guy, with some extra crap thrown in. Normally I wouldn't care (since I do it myself occasionally), but don't be such a hipocrite.

Actually, it's hypocrite.

If this helps at all good, if not, ignore it:

My Newcastle 3500+ will overclock to 2.55Ghz Max.
My Winchester 3200+ will overclock to 2.75Ghz so far ( haven't really pushed it that hard yet. )

And yes, the Winchesters do infact run cooler, and a bit faster, I might add.
