I essentially use my system for encoding DVDs, converting mpg and avi. Ripping DVDs, etc... I notice it takes probably about an hour to encode a dvd right now I'm running a 1700+ I was planning to purchase a 3000 XP with the 333 FSB I was thinking it may speed things up a little bit. I notice the difference between the two chips is a double in the L1 and L2 cache from 64 to 128 in L1 and 256 to 512 in L2. Speed goes from 1.47 in the 1700+ to 2.167 in the 3000. I have a Radeon 9800 PRO and 2 WD 250GB hard drives and 1.5 gig of PC2100 RAM

yes you'll see the difference man, 1700+ is an older processor and 3000+ is newer and its supports 64bit processing, its cheaper than the new dual-cores but it will speed up your encoding time. you definitely should upgrade!

yes you will see a difference. my old 2ghz pc with 1 gig ram took about 35 mins from start to finish on a dvd.
my new pentium d 930 dual core 3 ghz pc with 1 gig of ram takes about 15 mins from start to finish on a dvd.
Some dvds take longer that others depending on the content of the dvd
