Any reason to get the 6700 over the 6600?

As the topic says. Looking to run with a Tuniq Tower, 650/680 board, 8800GTX etc.

Is the 6700 able to give a higher overall speed when clocked or do they both clock to about the same?

Well I'd go for at least the 6600 because of the extra cache.

But you are saying that given everything else the same, a 6600 will likely clock to the same max as a 6700 even though a 6700 starts out faster anyway? I suppose it should since they are just speed binned from the same die and are effectively the same anyway - just the 6700 has a pre-clock over the 6600 when bought...

I'd still 'prefer' the extra cache even if it's just for the knowledge it's there - same as anyone else choosing a 6600 over a 6400/6300 I guess...
