Default P4 with 2mb cache or 1mb cache???
Which would be better, a Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 660 w/ HT Technology 3.6GHz 2MB Cache or a Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 570J w/ HT Technology 3.8GHz 1MB Cache. I am not sure which ones best as i dont understand this whole cache business. I just want a system perfect for my games, i've red the 2mb cache is much better for games etc....

I think the P4 660 would be better, not just because of the cache, but I believe the 6xx series of Intel processors offer 64-bit capability, instead of 32-bit on earlier chips.

the 2mb cache is better but id rather have a AMD FX-55 purely because of the heat produced by the intels is stupid
