Right now I'm using the X2 with DFI Ultra-D and OCZ VX.

The best heatsink would be the Thermalright XP120/XP90C. If you're looking for something less expensive then I can't really recommend you one because I'm a bit clueless about heatsinks.

other than XP-120/ XP-90, cheapo HSf tat can be compare to them is TT DIY PIPE101
last time b4 switching into XP-90, im using it & the performance almost same wif XP-90
IMO

On the dual cores, the E6 are toledos if I am not mistaken and E4 are Manchesters. Toledo are the better cores since they are used in the high end models such as X2 4800+ while the Manchesters are the cacat version.

so people if opty 165 and x2 3800 are priced the same, which one would you choose.. one is based on toledo and the other on manchester... one has 1mb cache @ 1.8ghz while the other 512kb cache @ 2.0 ghz..

both are great overclockers, though the x2 does a lil better at the end achieving up to 2.8ghz.. but that's very subjective anyway and depends much on your chip...

but which one would you choose? please state the reason

hurmm if price would be the same then i choose X2 lorr, becoz the latest version comes wif toledo core(same wif opty) but limited L2 512kb cache. but then, the multiplier higher than opty 165 with 10 over 9. sure easy to OC up to 2.6Ghz. on opty side, need to OC "lil higher abit" to get 2.6Ghz becoz of the 9 multiplier

IMO sweat.gif sweat.gif
