There are 2 processors i would consider having are the forst 2 results here:

There is practically no cost difference, and both have practically the same clock speed. the differences are the manufacturing precision and the FSB.
which should i go for? is there a difference between the two that would make a system difference (other than the mobo)? |
Are you dead set on getting a Prescott P4? They're old tech and tend to run on the hotter side and performance isn't very good. If your budget allows, try looking at some of the Pentium D 9xx models. Cooler running with better performance. Better yet, if you can swing a C2D you'd get real performance and a computer that should meet your needs for years to come.
