Downgrading to a Sempron! Heat Question.
My 2800+ in my shuttle system gets to 55c when I'm encoding DVD's on it, since the system is only used for downloads, playing films and encoding DVD's I though I would buy a slower CPU to help reduce the heat (and noise). I'm looking at the Sempron 2200+ which looks like good value for money and I doubt I'd noticed that much of a performance difference.
Few questions though.
1: How much cooler will a Sempron 2200+ run compared to a Barton 2800+
2: Does the size difference in cache affect encoding speed?
