    Which processor is better, P4 560j 3,6Ghz or P4 650 3,4Ghz? 560j is has more Ghz and is 32bit, but 650 is newer, has more cache and is 64bit. Now came out new widnows xp 64bit for only 64bit.

    So simply which one of them is better?

    I now have 560j, but i have a chance to change it to 650, is it worth it?

    It's not worth it until programs that utilize 64-bit technology are released. I'd wait until Longhorn at least. If your getting a new PC then yes, that would be a useful feature.

    No i am not getting a new pc, i have already this one (its written in my signature), but i have a chance to change the processor for free. I will just tell the service where i got the pc from that there is an overheating problem. The prices of these two processors are almost the same. But i just dont know if it is worth going through all this effort. Any advices if i should change it or not?

    If you're getting it for free then go for it. I think it's worth the suffering. Also depends on when you will get a new PC or pay to upgrade.
