They have a 3200 with 1 meg of L2 at 754 pins. A 3200 with 512 K at 939

L2 cache and I think the 1 meg at 754 pins would be the better one, but why
less pins and more cache?


I believe the 3200+ (2.0 GHz) 1M L2 754 (which I have) has been succeeded
by 3200+ (2.2 GHz) 512K 754, which AMD likely figures costs them less for
similar performance (depending upon the application).

754 only does single channel RAM, 939 can do dual channel (but costs
more).
