Not to discourage you but you can't compare Quad core to single or dual. Of course, if you have more cores, the CPU will be hotter! Until and unless they come out with an energy efficient model.

So, I presumed you're getting the E6600? IMO, that's a good choice, will last for at least for a few years

considering to buy quad but after make several review and ask some axpert in here, i would like to buy 6050 family (1333FSB). considering which one to buy either E6750 or E6850.

higher series is better,

pro: higher core speed, deliver more instruction.

con:consume higher watt, produce more heat...

get this pricelist from xtremeoc

http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-05-15/Inte.jpg

Ya, the list was posted up a few pages back. That's what we're waiting for! Q6600 at USD 266. In addition, the ringgit is going to be stronger by then!!!

=.= ha ha.... even ringgit stronger, also wont affect much to us la, bcs we not doing million transaction, but i really believe ringgit will be stronger, bcs ringgit undervalue about 40%.....

i'll be interested in E6750 by then cuz the price will be around 700 if wat u guys say here are true...

Can wait to get QX6600 next quater when intel will have another price cut. The price should be just under or a little over RM1000.

im looking forward for the next price cut..im eyeing E6750 as well. the price should be around the same as E6420 rite now. around 550-600 ( for bulk price) . thus im delaying my new PC again. hehe

em.. guys...

I heard of a new existence of processor.. an E6650

Tell me guys.. what is the difference between E6600 and E6650??

Pro anc cons??

E6600 FBS = 1066mhz while E6650 FBS = 13333mhz

E6650 hv higher FSB 1333MHz, but need a mobo that can support that fsb, currently nvidai 680i, 650i based board, intel g33,p35 basd board, some of p965 (bios update) can support this fsb

i was just wondering abt the July 22nd price cut, will it be immediate? i mean will i be able to get the processors at the reduced prices on 22nd (or 23rd) July from lawyat?

I should think so. Even for the 22nd April price cut, the prices in lowyat changed almost at the same time.

Can't remember, but I think there were a few vendors who changed their prices before that???

thx, i leave malay on 28th or a little sooner, gotta get my quad before that

higher fsb means?? Better oc arr??

Sorry need a little guidance about this kind of stuff...

yup... it can be said so...

Intel FSB is quad-pumped, means 266 x 4 = 1066 Million transfers per second, thats how the FSB is derived. To determine RAM clock, multiply the base FSB by 2, eg: 266*2 = 533 MHz, which means that at 1066 MT/S, the maximum RAM clock can be supported is DDR2-533 MHz

however there might be RAM ratio like those seen in AMD's RAM divider, to make RAM work at different speed than processor, not sure how this implemented in intel

seriously?i thought it somehow backward compatible. damn, then i have to wait for mobo with FSB 1333MHz to become mainstream first. will delay my new PC even longer..haih

That time the price in lowyat didnt change much also.
Only some shops changed price that day.
