I've read a lot of the guides and how-tos in Toms Hardware but I could never find a good answer to figure out this "simple" problem. What is better for a person who will never overclock their CPU - a Northwood 3.0GHZ 512cache(220$ new egg) or a Prescott 2.8GHZ 1mb cache(220 something new egg)?
ps. the motherboard is an Asus P4P800-Deluxe and I'm looking to run normal applications and very graphic intensive games (half-life 2, RTCW, battlefield nam, AC2, etc.).
