Hi.
I am looking for advice and opinions on a swap I am considering on doing.
I have a EX470 that has the 2GB memory upgrade in it with the stock Sempron 3400+ processor in it and I have an Athlon 4000+ processor sitting around doing nothing.
The spec differences of note between the 2 processors are as follows(3400+ vs 4000+) otherwise all things are the same.
Base Speed 1800 vs 2600
Voltages 1.20/1.25V vs 1.25/1.35/1.40V
Max Temps© 78 vs 55-69
Wattage 35W vs 62W
AMD Virtualization Technology No vs Yes
L1 Cache Size(KB) the same on both @ 128
L2 Cache Size(KB) 256 vs 512
Software on the WHS V1 has NOT been upgraded to 3.0.
I have 3 - WDC WD20 EARS-00MVWB0 (2 GB green HDDs) with the original 500GB ST350063 0AS with the OpSys on it.
The unit works fine but I was wondering if the larger processor is worth the effort and also if there was a possibility that there is a memory upgrade to 4 GB.
Thanking in advance, those that respond.
