Constantine, Re: "I don't think the 533Mhz FSB will make a big deal on general purpose applications but the extra 256K will." Besides the higher bandwidth, which I agree will have only a small impact on general purpose applications, this faster front side bus also carries transactions to and from the CPU with lower latency. It is this lower latency, which I believe will increase performance more than 2-3%. Just look at this review. anandtech.com See SysMark Office performance increase 12% (not to mention Office Bench - 6%-14% performance boost)? See the three gaming benchmarks increase by 4%, 6%, and 11%? On the other hand, the content creation benchmarks (CC SysMark, CC Winstone) get the smallest improvement (0% and 2%, respectively), but I believe that's because the routines are small enough to already reside inside the cache. Feel free to make your own conclusions, but this suggests that Intel will get a sizable boost from the faster front side bus on many benchmarks. wbmw
