Building a budget PC and ordered an OEM AMD X2 5600 2Mb cache (2x1mb)

BUT Ebuyer have sent me an OEM cpu that is not even listed on their website:
ADO5600IAA6DO

The one they sent only has 1mb (2x512kb) cache. So what difference will I noitice - is it worth RMA'ing?

There are other differences - the one I ordered is 90nm 89W 2800 clock speed, and the one they sent is 65nm 65W 2900 clock speed. I am not bothered too much about the power consumption / heat, I just want to know how performance will be affected....


Top end Xeon processors have 8 meg and top line Opteron dual core have 12 meg.
