    #1: #2 hit it right on the nose. Given the options, NewCastle is the one I would recommend. Coincidentally, this is the same chip that I use on my primary workstation.

    #3: I'm not sure if that can be done with the way the CMS is built, but I will certainly pass this on to Jason to see if it's feasible.

    Can you move the price guide to under the link to go to the next section? It's just a lot to scroll through when reading the article for info (instead of looking for price info).

    Thx

    I purchased the Newcastle 3200+ 2.2 GHz a few weeks back, for two reasons. First, the improved clock speed is generally better than the improved cache size. Two, it was about $35 cheaper than the Clawhammer. For that price, I picked up a Zalman CNPS7000a heatsink/fan and overclocked my 3200+ to 2.42 GHz without any difficulty. I don't know about Adam, but I would go with the Newcastle cores for most setups, given the price difference. Not to mention the Clawhammer cores seem to be on the way out (hence the price difference).
