I was right, the differernce is in the cache, and it can hit your performance by about 20% on some games. Other difference is that its builton the 'willamette' core, which runs a lot hotter than the current P4 'northwood; core. ALso, it dosent overclock very well, you wont be able to get much more than the rated speed out of it no matter what you do in terms of cooling.
