Looking at yours it's only the cache size that is slowing it down. Are you sure it's sata 150 because the description suggests it's sata 300? Is there a jumper your can remove?

Is there a jumper your can remove? it's a sata300. i spotted that somewhere on my comp yesterday evening. so a larger cache size will obviously help? Has this thing still not been bloody built yet? quiet bitch  |

You'll want as big a cache as possible. When you start copying and moving files etc, the bigger files are going to eat up the cache, so you won't get the full benefit of the faster speeds. That's my understanding of it anyway.

cool.
i'll have a further look into it but it seems i'll obviously bennefit from changing it to a better one with more cache.
apart from that i think my new system is pretty spot on.
i'm gonna have a proper read tonight about overclocking etc and see if i should venture into this or not.

You have speedstep enabled in the BIOS. It drops the multiplier when idle. Don't worry it's all good. Saves power and heat!
