How will the 3.2Ghz, socket 478 Pentium 4 perform under a load?

Pros 512Kb cache size means broad compatibility in Socket 478, hyper threading
Cons Low cache size reduces processing speed

Pros Cheap<br>Integrated Graphics<br>2.9 GHz clock
Cons Not as fast as the more expensive ones
Recommended it? Yes

I was anticipating the release of Skyrim, and as a newly converted PC gamer, I decided that this was going to be the best decision for me.
