R Rod Speed Jan 25, 2004 #4 I think the SE has the 8mb cache ... Correct. go with the SE Click to expand... Bet you wouldnt be able to pick between the 2MB and 8MB cache in a proper double blind trial without being allowed to use a benchmark or diagnostic. It also has a 3 year warranty. What really matters is the price difference between the SE and non SE and whether thats good value.
