512 KB Cache Vs. 1MB

Two G5s, both dual processor 2GHz. One of them has 512 KB cache, and the other one has 1KB.

Does it matter? One's cheaper.

Thanks,

Mychal

Yes....it matters. On die/full speed cache...assuming it's full speed...is ALWAYS better in larger quantities.

Get the 512k. Especially if your not going to be using some sort of plug-in dsp card.
ie: protools-core/tc powercore.

Oops

Oops! My bad.

I meant 512 KB vs. 1MB.

Good grief. I can't even type.

Thanks,

Mychal

I was thinking...1k sounds odd?

1MB sounds good

Is that per cpu or total?
