Hi:
I am thinking about upgrading my current CPU to a 3.06Ghz to give me Hyper Threading ... There is also a 3Ghz CPU that is 800Mhz FSB ... Which do you think would be the better choice? I believe you cannot get a 3.06 with 800FSB yet. My mobo supports the larger FSB. |

I'd stick with the better FSB. The speed gap between memory and processor clocks is a big issue on current, deep-pipelined processors.
Hyperthreading is a quite limited simultaneous multhi-threading scheme, and it has been reported to even decrease performance in some cases. _________________ "I'm just very selective about the reality I choose to accept." -- Calvin |

then why did you buy that 3.06?
higher FSB is more perfomance
and 66 mhz in absolute clockspeed isn't noticeable
but 66 mhz in FSB is a world of difference |
