damn, it's time! Screw waiting for the Q6400 with that price.

Heh....

Yeah I paid almost that much for a 6420 in the spring.....

Willy_Weed · 07-21-2007, 03:36 PM

$255 for my E6300 back in Sept.

Considering it's only $50 more than the E6750, I don't think even I can cheap out

. Two more cores for $50? Sounds good to me, even at the lower FSB.

In all honesty I don't know if the 1333 FSB chips are going to do much for us, especially if you are at all interested in overclocking.

We'll see how they do, but unless they get us back to 3.6+ speeds (like the earlier C2Ds) I'll probably be looking at the cheaper quad core 1066 chips.

If I buy a Core 2, I don't think I'm going to bother with (major) overclocking. The only reason I overclock is Pentium Ds are horrible, and am trying to squeeze every ounce of performance out of it I can get. I don't think that'll be necessary on a Core 2, so I hope. But if I can fit my Thermalright Ultra 120 onto the board, I see no reason I can't try

.

Regardless, the board I'm looking at (see my post in tech talk) supports 1333 FSB and is going to support the upcoming 45nm processors, so I'll be future-proofed for a bit.

Heh.... not overclocking a c2d is almost sacrilige!!!!

Don't want to spam this site with a link to another, but if you're interested in another canadian spot to ask about that motherboard drop me a PM and I'll point you in a good direction.....
