Hi,I have the opportunity to buy a Pentium 3.4E CPU for about $ 230. I currently have a Pentium 3.2C. Would this upgrade be worth it ? Thanks for any input.Pesi

Thanks. No, its not the extreme edition.

200Mhz won't make much difference at all.If you're going to upgrade, wait 'til next year. Go for the new LGA775 CPUs, they're going to have 2MB 2nd level Cache. :-hah

The EE Series is crap, to put it bluntly.Heat issues seem to come standard with them. I would highly recommend against either the Prescott or the EE.

The heat issue of the EE is lot about the 2mb cache they put in it. Bigger die which require more voltage to run all that extra cache. This is evident on the A64 as well. The newcastle with less cache is noticeable more cool running than the Clawhammers. But I wouldn

Thanks for everyone's input. I'll hold of until I do a full system upgrade next year.Pesi

Given adequate cooling (if it's possible?) is the price difference for the EE worth it? Here in Canada the difference is $1000. Quite a hit...billg

Of course it isn
