[QUOTE="MLH01, post: 525819, member: 89532"] I have been looking into these and the Phenom II X4 905e for a potential upgrade. From what I can gather, the main difference between the Athlon IIs and the 905e is the L3 cache, and the subsequently higher 65W TDP in the 905e. Is the L3 cache in the Phenoms important for a HTPC that is mainly used for watching/recording HD, and sometimes - maybe 30% of recordings - converting videos? Only problem is, I haven't been able to find a supplier of these or the 905e in Australia. Maybe they'll be more available in the near future... [/QUOTE]
