Question about all those Intel Core 2 Duo CPU's... - 2007/01/05 15:08
Hey, I have a little question. I want to sell now my complete system with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 at 3GHz and want to buy me an Intel system. The reason is, I don't want to buy me now an AM2 system with an FX-62 and in some months AMD brings out a new sockel and the AM2 didn't get more CPU's or something other. So, I have not much money at the moment for this, and €1000 extra and the money I gain for my current system...
Current System Specifications... - MSI K8N Diamond Plus SE Mainboard - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Processor - Mushkin 2048MB DDR500 XP4000 Memory - XFX GeForce 7900 GX2 1GB Cards - OCZ GameXStream 700W Power Supply - Plextor PX-755SA DVD Burner - Golden Rock ATX Big Tower
I sell this system without my HDD (a Western Digital 500GB SATAII) and with an air cooler from Zalman (CNPS9700-Cu). Now my question is, what for Core 2 Duo CPU is the best? But please not those Quad-Core as I haven't got enough money for this one. Question is, is an E6600 stock better than an E6300 overclocked to the same speed as the E6600?
Or is it better to buy an E6600 or E6700? Cause the E6700 cost €200 more as the E6600, so my question is, is the performance so better with an E6700 that the €200 more are a good investment? Or is it better to buy an E6600 and put the €200 in a bigger radiator for the H2O cooling? What's the best mainboard at the moment for overclocking, stability and performance for a Core 2 Duo?
What's the best ram? Its good enough to buy DDR2-800 or its better to buy DDR2-1000? Or above, like the DDR2-1150 from OCZ. Or is it better to buy an DDR2-800 with better timings as an DDR2-1150? So, enough questions at the moment...
