OK, Here is the deal. I am thinking of upgrading my computer. I currently have a P4 1.9 and want to upgrade to a 3.0 as the price jump to 3.2 is a little hard for me to handle. I use my computer mainly for recording, edititing, and mixing music and could really use the upgrade. I am also upgrading from 528 of PC2100 to 2 sticks of 528 PC3200. So my question is what processor to go with. The price differance is only about 50 cents right now and the 3.0E does have more cache but I have heard of heat problems and other things.

Do you think that the heat issues can be overcome without having to put a noisy HSF in?

Will I really get much of a preformance boost for my use with the 3.0E over the 3.0C?

Thanks
