[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 535169, member: 8287"] I have not personally tried this but it's said that the 1.4 with the large L3 cache is faster in many ways and benchmarks than the 1.8 even with the smaller cache. There are sites who have run some tests proving this. If I can find them again I will post the URL's for you. Really though what you are seeing is Boot Up time and really the CPU does not make that much difference there. Running some demanding applications doing say compiling, Compression, ETC is where the difference would really show. [/QUOTE]
