Subject: Which CPU for Seti?

I am wondering what CPU to get for Seti@home (BOINC)? The choices are:

Amd Athlon 64 (socket 949 version)  - Athlon FX version with more cache or
normal Athlon 64 version

OR

Intel Pentium 4 EE edition...

Which CPU is better? How much memory does Seti's algorithms take to run and
can it run entirely in the CPU's cache? (eg 1 meg for Athlon 64 FX) or 2 meg
for Pentium 4 EE ?

Does anyone know any web pages that have benchmarks with BOINC?

Thanks,
Darren
