erm.. my friend is using E6600... but with this sudden price cut he's thinking of changing to E6850 now. Is it worth it?? Or perhaps overclocking to 3.0GHz is better for him?? (he's on stock cooler btw... wonder if he can oc up to 3.0GHz btw )

And (probably discussed already before.. but I'm going to have if I started to read from page one again ) is the difference (performance) between 1033 and 1333 fsb really that significance??

well... a change in FSB is kinda big... cuz 400X5 and 500X4 also got diff... from wat i understand... 500X4 should be faster than 400X5 and stock high FSB should give way to better OC'ing... which is the main trend now...

It's not really worth it. The E6600 is already a good proc. You can OC it higher to achieve better performance. However, if he wants the best dual-core, then it's the E6850. Not only is it runningat 3.0Ghz, it can be OC even higher!!!

So, unless he really needs that kind of CPU performance, no point getting the E6850. Better get a good HSF for OC.

Ya lor, not worth changing E6600 to E6850. Between, from anandtech its like better go for Q6600 than E6850. Even E6850 can oc up to 4GHz on air, still it require certain condition to reach that speed.

Please let us know when the shops start selling the new CPU's/Prices ..

i think the new prices of procs are already available, not mistaken.. if you go to lowyat plaza, i am not sure they have uploaded the prices in pdf here in lowyat

I meant the E6850 & Q6600

It is not in sell yet in Lowyat plaza..

processor is a item that seldom or never increase its price
it alwiz drops, cos newer and more powerful 1 keep coming out

mm.... tech's stuff will always reduce their price over time..no worry....

oo.......then mabye i will get Q6600 in Aug or september like this.....^^..hope is price is between 900-950 like this ......

I'm going for E6750.... PLAY OC haha...

But it is already rm950 in bulk wor....

@.@.....then i will get it after over PC- fair at Aug.....need build new ram new mainboard again T_T................$$$$$$$$

i hate this thread...
