spazmire11 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 i would go with the venice 3500+ due to it being 60$ cheaper...double cache is NOT going to effect your gaming preformance AT ALL.the area where this cache will help is video/cad work and since your going amd i would asume that you are doing nither.however that opteron being cheaper would be my choice but since your not a ocing person i would not get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 well it depends, for 512kb more cache 50$ might matter to you. if u can afford it then get the 3700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
