May 27, 200620 yr Hey im building a new computer, and im not sure wether if there will be a noticible difference between these CPU's and if it will be worth the extra money. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=211678 or http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=152503 Thanks for you help :) Edit: I realised i used the wrong link, but will it be worth the extra money?
May 27, 200620 yr Only difference i see is that the 3700+ has double the L2 cache of the 3500+. That and the 3700+ is retail while the 3500+ is OEM.
May 27, 200620 yr The 3700+ is San Diego core whereas the 3500+ is Venice. I've heard San Diego is better for some reason. Anyway, I have the 3700+ and I've noticed it runs very cool compared to my previous Barton. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
