Will my computer run better with a 3,0 p4 with 512 cache and 800 mhz
fsb.

Sure it will. Will you notice it? Depends on the apps. No
difference in typing Wink

very little, if any, in Internet browsing and
email reading. If you do things like video encoding and/or gaming,
the difference may be significant.
Does the upgrade make sence? Depends... If you already have the CPU
collecting the dust, or getting it for free or next to that, go for
it. If you need to spend significant cash ($175 on pricewatch as of
now), think twice. The system is already obsolete, and will remain
such even if you stick P4 Extreme in it. Upgrading it means throwing
good money after the bad. You might be better off saving some more
money and buying a modern system.
