How come the amd 64 bit 3400+ [url]www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-426&depa=0[/url] is cheaper and has 512 more cache than the 3500+ [url]www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-463&depa=0[/url] ? Is it just because the 3500+ is socket 939 and the 3400+ is socket 754 and 939's typically have better cores? Would i notice a huge difference between the two? …
