Hi everyone,
At first, i wanted to put an Intel Pentium III 800mhz EB in my new computer but i just visited Intel's web site and judging from their own performance benchmarks, the 733 is a bit faster then the 800 on the multimedia benchmark. As for the other applications, they're only VERY slighly lower than the 800's...probably not enough to make a difference on the overall performance.
My question to you all is: "Since my principal interests are in the mutimedia applications and considering the fact noted above, not forgetting the few bucks shall save, should i bye a 800mhz or a 733mhz c.p.u., and why? "
Thanks
The System i want to put up is:
ASUS CUSL-2c motherboard
Dimm 256MB pc133 sdram major brand
ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 32MB
Sound Blaster Live Platinum 5.1
Western Digital 30.7GB 7200
Plextor's Plexwriter 12X/10X/32X ide
DVD Pioneer 40X/16X
Cambridge Desktop DTT2200 5.1 speakers
AGFA E-50 scanner
H.P. Deskjet 930C printer
LG 19" 915FT Plus monitor
