Subject: RE: Tech: Computer processor question
John, I have a question for you. I'm realizing a slowdown in my 5-year-old HP, that runs on a 32-big Intel Pentium 4 CUP at 3.2Ghz. I looked up the specifications for the motherboard in my machine, and I can upgrade to a Pentium 4 (HT) 3.8Ghz machine. Is that .6 Ghz gained worth the trouble and expense of upgrading a single core machine? Do I gain anything in cache or just speed?
