Cache does not matter any more
I would pay the extra to get the q9450 OEM for $299 unless you're on a tighter budget. It has a 7.5x multiplier and only 3MB of L2 cache. Between 4 cores that's not a lot of cache. 2x1GB of memory is dirty cheap and hardly worth anything any more unless it's highly overclockable.

hell of a deal. does fry's take returns on opened processors?
Where does it say only 3 MB of L2 cache?
Ugh. Let's make this clear. It has 2x2 cores, making four (two duals). Each of those has a 3MB cache (2x3MB); can't really say "6MB", because no core has access to 6MB at any given time.

As for the Cache Doesnt Matter, I will have to Back Annaconda up here, Its actually less important for the majority of things people do, especially game. to the Point, AMD is getting ready to release Deneb Cores with NO Cache.
