winchester core...old core...does not oc as good as the current batch of venice processors...should be able to hit bout 2.7ghz on this processor at max...btw, dun create a thread la...post it in other threads..you really want mod to close this thread duntcha?

hehe...new processors are all codenamed "venice" with revision of either E3, E4 or E6..hehehe..sorry dude...gotta read up before buying ma.. anyway, its still good that you got yourself AMD instead of intel...

nah...that is wat you feel...actually its based on lots of factors...the mobo, ram and hard disk that both of you uses will yield slightly different performance...overall, your processor should be as good as the venice, the only drawback is that your Vcore runs slightly higher at stock as compared to venice....1.45v as compared to 1.4v....although at stock speeds, both does not have major difference in heat..but once OC, you'll know wat i meant..hehehe...

oh..another difference would be that venice supports SSE3 instructions whereas your processor doesn't....

haha....how bout fragmentation of the OS and applications installed and running in the background? hehe...dun forget bout that...dun worry so much...wat matters most is that whether you can achieve high clockspeeds when you OC it..

hmm...for kvr rams, recommended to set to 2.8v if you intend to oc....and as far as increasing your chipset voltage, you only do that if you find that your system is unable to perform well at very high fsb (more than 300mhz)...other than that, increase the vcore slowly to determine the max possible clockspeed for your processor
