Why wast your money

This is a discussion about Why wast your money in the Windows Hardware category; Can anyone tell me why a person would pay all that extra money to up grade from a 933 prossessor to a 1 gig. Is there any differance in speed, I don't think so. And why spend the extra for the 1. 5gig when you can save the money and by the 1.

Can anyone tell me why a person would pay all that extra money to up grade from a 933 prossessor to a 1 gig. Is there any differance in speed, I don't think so. And why spend the extra for the 1.5gig when you can save the money and by the 1.4 gig or the 800 to the 900gig no differance in speed, not that the human eye can see. Why make intel any richer. With the extra money you save you can invest it. Im still running a 6oo pentium and it works great. Sorry guys just thinking out loud.

Enjoy

Maybe it is me, but I can tell the difference between 1gig @100 FSB and the same system at 1133 @133 FSB. It is so much better at that bus speed.
