Thats the P4 and P4EE difference that you just pointed out The Prescott is completely different design and I feel it will be a better performer by quite some distance.

But its all up in the air until I see some reviews...im just mouthing off here

Hopefully its worth it and is not $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Let's face it, the processor is not the weakest link in a PC anymore. I think it is either the GPU or the Hard Drive. (unless of course you have a WD raptor like me

hard drive is hardly a performance bottleneck anymore. Its the RAm, CPU and BUS speeds. The RAM is possibly the biggest bottleneck here coupled with the BUS speed. I would like a 2Ghz BUS, 1Ghz RAM pairs and a 4Ghz CPU to even things up



Oh and the level1 cache is important. Cache is everything if you want to avoid bottlenecks - bigger is better...

I don't think i'm buying. It would make my order jump from 3,900 to 4,500.

I could take the $800 price diff and buy a lifetime supply of Longitude.

I haven't read up much on the prescott Prosessor yet. Does anyone know if it uses the same socet as the Noth Prosessors?

IE: When avalibe could it work/fit with the current SiS motherboards in out laptops?

THanks Phyro

I prefer a larger Level1 to a level2 and I am willing to pay because I know how hard it is to put more memory in there with a limited number of viable transistors to place and route.

The Level 2 is a separate chip on the same die. makes it easier to mod it if you are gonna change from one revision to the next. Level 1 is IN the chip.

What you probably mean is that by getting the Level 2 to run as fast as the CPU we can ease the bottlenecks in the data buses - which is true and you are correct.

But increasing Level 2 is productive...but only secondary to improving the speed and capacity of level 1.

This article should be of some help, http://www.nordichardware.com/review...03/Pentium4EE/ there's already a 3.4 EE coming out next week sometime.
