Quick question about the AMD M2 processors

[Greenlizard0]

I was about to buy a 4400 when my budget increased and I got a 4600 instead and now I may have shot myself in the foot.

Reading through this forum it seems the socket 939 versions of the 4400 has a larger cache. Is this the same for the socket M2 range?

quick q- y didn't u go conroe?

*sighs* thanks for letting us know lads.

I needed a new system up and running so that I could start working again. I was performing an upgrade, but from using old parts of a system whose motherboard had croaked it.

I looked around and I presumed that the most future proof CPU/RAM motherboard combination would be to get something using DDR2 on a AM2 base. I didn't know I was paying extra for nothing more. I knew that Conroe was about to come out but I didn't wait. I wish I could have because I would have saved so much money and probably would have got something a good bit faster pound for pound....

Socket 939 & AM2 chips have entirely the same specs, see here

Awww crap. No wait - my CPU uses about half the power...wooo..na,...wait I'm not a tree hugger. *kicks bucket and stares at floor*
