hi all, I'm finally upgrading to A64 :D ..

Questions: we have couple of dealers who still carry OEM version Clawhammer A64 3200+ 1MB L2 2.0Ghz ~ sells for $279 CDN and on the other hand Newcastle core A64 3200+ 512KB L2 2.2Ghz Retail ~ sells for $299.... so which one is a better deal?

I'm a lil skeptic about buying an OEM cpu cus it only comes with 30 day warranty :eek:

Also which is the best performing A64 754 mobo.. Asus K8V SE or the Epox 8KDA3J ? or ??..

thanks!
 
Get the clawhammer, 1mb of L2 cache is worth it's weight in gold. You can always overclock for the extra mhz, you can't add more cache.

Benefits: Media intensive things will benefit greatly from more L2 cache, gaming included.
