For all PC user out here,
When you buy a PC, do you use the PC just to benchmark?
imho, Price come first then come performance
If perfomance slightly lower 10-15%, i would prefer price.
But if 40-50% diffrent, i would consider the performance than goes to price, its about our thinking for future running program.

If base on the price currently,
CORE 2 DUO 1.86GHz E6300 775 1066 2MB RM600
CORE 2 DUO 2.13GHz E6400 775 1066 2MB RM680
CORE 2 DUO 2.4GHz E6600 775 1066 4MB RM835
CORE 2 DUO 2.13GHz E6320 775 1066 4MB RM620
CORE 2 DUO 1.8GHz E6420 775 1066 4MB RM700

Athlon X2 64bit 4600+ 2400MHz AM2 2000 512*2 RM415*
Athlon X2 64bit 5000+ 2600MHz AM2 2000 512*2 RM530*
Athlon X2 64bit 5200+ 2600MHz AM2 2000 1MB*2 RM595*
Athlon X2 64bit 5600+ 2800MHz AM2 2000 1MB*2 RM690

We should compare E6420 with Athlon X2 64bit 5600+ 2800MHz
Well, if 6420 outperform AMD X2 around 30-40%, i surely will goes to 6420.

if 6420 just outperform AMD X2 around 10-15% i would go for AMD X2

Money need to spend wisely, if you have more money, donate out to charity.

the * (star) behind those AM2 means?

how about we all just wait for Intel to really slash their price on 22 April then we all can decide which one is worth it in term of performance per price...

copy from cycom pricelist though...
i just cant wait 22nd april the price slash...then i would wait for 2 weeks time
see how amd fight against the price slash.

prices slashes are good for us....first salvo from AMD, now we're waiting for Intel's response and then a couple of weeks/months later AMD's reponse...and yada and yada and yada

later maybe AMD will slash their price on new 65W proc then we all can enjoy dual-core without hesitation...even now, x2 +4400 65W u can get it for RM440 only at robyncom..

Well... AMD perform very nice, but wut concern ppl is socket issue... AMD changing socket too fast that most ppl

i'm not,
i'm just analyzing the market

new prices out
e4300 @ 400+
e6320/6420 @ 600+
e6600 @ 800+
e6700 @ 1100+

imho, 6320 and 6420 is not worth getting

the E6xxx series support nested paging - good for Virtualization like vmware.com

so price wise, e4300 is still above the RM400 mark

looks like have to wait for the e2xxx series if ur looking at replacing your age-old fire breathing Pentium D

just sold of my P4 2.8C Northwood xxcaps

so now if i can wait i might try my luck and wait for E2xxx dual core

otherwise I will be quite happy with X2 3800+ and a 690G platformwith HDMI

so...just take e6600 es from lowyat jer...soo cheap..
and it oc quite well

There is no Nested Paging support in any of the Intel CPU right now. This is only available in Opteron F series. Core 2 lines only support the most basic virtualization and nested paging is emulated via software.

hmm....if u dont mind explaining why E6320 & E6420 not worth buying I would appreciate it tho, coz I'm thingking of getting one.
