Hello, i was looking into upgrading my PIII 450 (SL35D) to a PIII 550 (SL3FJ), since that is as high as my mobo will allow, but i was looking at the L2 Cache Speed of each and my 450 has a L2 Cache Speed of 450mhz while my 550 is only 275. Which is better for my system, slower cpu with larger cache or faster cpu with smaller cache? What's the difference?
Thanks.

Jeff
