6300 or 6600?

[rippling]

ok guys is the 6600 worth the £100 more than the e6300 on a ds4 mobo? what differance is there ie that the 2mb cache more will make?
thanks

Yes, I'd like to know. Maybe if some people could run some tests on both E66/700 and E63/400 at 7*400Mhz, so that only the cache is the difference.

the cache of 4mb is more noticable in video/audio encoding, just for surfing and playing games, not much of a difference

I second that. Although its nice to have it though.

The 9x multi is also pretty helpful & should help swing the decision.

The E6600 will allow higher clocks

3.6.-3.8ghz

Is it worth the xtra?

Hmm

I think a DS3 and a 6300 7x500 3.5ghz is fastenough lol for anything

And offers the best bang for Buck.

Go for the 6600! You know you'll regret it if you don't!

No way will a standard 6600 do 3.6-3.8. I'm not sure how many 6600's you have personally played with but I have had about 30 through my hands and the majority will only do 3.2-3.4. If you get one that will do 3.6 your lucky. 3.8 and your extremely lucky

6300 and some good memory.

Between those two, I'd get the e6300 and clock it.

There was a review comparing 2mb cache with 4mb cache somewhere and the final result showed a average of 5% difference in performance.

ok so 6300 it is ........thanks! it should still smoke a fx62? lol

 

[Jabbs]

A 6300 at 2.59 beats a fx62 and seeing as most can get 3 gig easy they the bargain chip without a doubt.

E6300 imo, fantastic value for money.
