Athlon64 3200+

Does AMD sell a Athlon64 3200+ CPU with a 512KB level 2 cache?
I ordered one from Newegg and the order says it has a 512KB cache.
But every where I checked says it has 1MB cache
I ordered the retail one. The OEM is listed as having 1MB.
As far as I know the only difference is the warrantee and fan.

Shopping from the processor catagory web page and searching
for Athlon 64, I see these two:

Athlon 64 3200+ 512KB 2.2GHz Retail $282 ADA3200BOX
Athlon 64 3200+ 1MB 2.0GHz Retail $282 ADA3200AXBOX

I guess AMD is in the middle of a confusing transition. Best
to check with your vendor, to see if you are getting a processor
with more cache, or a processor that is better at driving DIMMs.
At least according to this thread...

The model newegg lists is the ADA3200AXBOX
According to the link you gave you have them reversed.
Looks like I ordered the 512KB cache model.
Guess I better call Newegg tomorrow.

Thanks

Oops You're right, the 'BOX and 'AXBOX should be reversed.
It is confusing And I tried to look up and verify on the
AMD site, and they currently show only 512KB, as if the 1MB
never existed. I wish AMD had the equivalent of
processorfinder.intel.com

AND they got 2 different CPU sockets

S 754 and S 940, so check what type

your motherboard is designed for

I got the right socket (754) just missed the cache.
Maybe I won't notice any difference if I don't run any benchmarks.
