Conroe decision, 6400 or 6600?

[Psypher5]

In all honesty, I'm on a bit of a budget, and would like to know if the extra 100quid is worth it?

I'll be overclocking the nads off it with a 3rd party heatsink fan (scythe miné), so an oem 6400 seems ideal, and can still push to 4ghz? (according to the ram guide.. )

Or is this only achievable with a 6600... I cant seem to find any overclocks at all for 6400's, I know that a 6600 will touch 3.7 on air, but could a 6400 touch 3/3.2 on air?

Would the extra cache really make a difference for gaming and photoshop ness?

Thanks for help

I've found a 5300 do 3.5 on water/do able on air. By a member of ocuk,over on xs.

Saving 100quid and overclocking it a bit certainly seems appealing to me right now

Thanks for the post, nudging me even more that way
