It depends a bit on what you're going to use the machine for. But in
general, the larger the internal cache on a CPU the better.
It's quite an interesting test to turn off the L2 cache and see how much
difference it makes to a machine - it's enormous......

A this clock speed a 533Mhz Northwood would, generally, be better.
Prescott won't really come into it's own until Intel launch with clock
speeds much faster than Northwood is capable of.

Which I guess they may never do now .. e.g. (borrowed from

Intel to 'ditch' Pentium 4 core after Prescott

Intel will today tear its Pentium 4 and Xeon roadmaps to shreds and
announce the cancellation of its 'Tejas' and 'Jayhawk' processors and
their successors.

Both chips represent what was to have been the next generation of
90nm
Pentium 4 and Xeon, respectively, and were scheduled to arrive in the
Q2
2005 timeframe. Chips derived from them include 'Cedarmill' on the
desktop, and 'Potomac' and 'Tulsa' in the Xeon series. The future of
these chips is now also in question.

According to Reuters, Tejas and Jayhawk are now history. The report
doesn't say what Intel will offer instead, but it seems clear that
the
chip giant has decided to accelerate plans to roll-out desktop
processors
derived from its Pentium M architecture.

Wouldn't a 800Mhz Northwood be better than a 533 Northwood ?
