What's the difference? ADA3200CGBOX - ADA3200BPBOX

[lindochico]

Hello guys!

New kid in this area. I was looking at the specs of my future CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Processor (Venice) 939. The ZipZoomFly price for this baby is $157.80 (ADA3200BPBOX), but there's another one priced at $173.90 (ADA3200CGBOX).

Can somebody tell me what's the difference between these two jewels? They look the same to me but I guess they aren't.

Thanks in advance!

Here's the difference: BP and CG.

See the difference? That's why the CG version is more expensive!

Ok. What I notice here is that the CG includes the SSE3 instruction set and has a 2000 Mhz Front Side Bus Speed. Does these differences really matter in real world performance?

I didn't know the Venice core had such variations. This means my next motherboard should support 2000 Mhz Front Side Bus Speed, am I right?
