i'm thinking of building a computer in the not too distant future. i intend to use a micro-atx case and mobo. i haven't fully decided on which mobo yet. as a reference, i intend to start with at least 512 mb of ram and a 40 gb 7200 rpm hd. i'm only adding 1 drive which is an nec nd-2500a 8x dual format dvd burner. i was looking at processors (amd vs. intel) and noticed that for the same price i can purchase an amd athlon xp 2800+ or an intel celeron 2.8 ghz. the celeron has 128k cache while the 2800+ has 512k cache. the amd is rated at 2.08 ghz though. so in this instance, which is better? 4x the cache or 700 more mhz? thanks in advance.
