Ok i was wondering if this would make a difference going from a
AMD sempron 2600+ socket 754
to a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Socket 754
i no the main difference is the cache
so would this make any difference at all? changing from that sempron to athlon?

anybody?

i think it would. it's not just the cache but the architecture of the processor.
the sempron's are rather mobil and low power computing orientated while the athlon, up until recently was mainly for the desktop.

The Sempron scores 361 in passmark, while the Athlon 64 3200+ scores 467. So it is faster.
