heloo all

i,m ready to get a conroe , i just unsure on which one to get of the e6600 or e6700?

is it worth the extra £148 pound to get the 6700?

i dont overclock and i mostly be using the rig for programming and gaming @16*10 res.

this include the asus p965 and x1900xt.

help me decide people


thanks
 
hi

thanks for the feedback

well your paying that for an extra 200mhz, i had my on the 6600 for a hile now, i currently have the amd x2 4400 s939 and thats going to a friend, would there be a significant difference do you reckon in gaming and business application?

i think i read somewhere the MS products are some how optimised for intel processors and i do a fair bit of dvd encoding which i think it may help there
 
hi

i dont really plan to overclock i think e6600 is aimed at mainstream users the ones that dont clock.

in games it doesnt do as good as e6700 @ stock i think anyone confirm please
 
hi

i think you may be right , it wouldnt be a huge jump well not for £148 worth could go somewhere else?

off the subject i was thinking about this ram to go with it but the timings seems a bit loose for my liking , i,m used to very tight amd ddr timings, any quick comment on this please>

G.Skill 2GB DDR2 NR PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBNR) (MY-014-GS)

with the new asus p965 version

thanks
 
hi

G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ) (MY-013-GS)

whats the benefit to have these if you dont overclock?

thanks
 
hi easyrider

i was just saying , i,m sooure overclockers would love these and they are good for their cash.

it dont think the e6700 is for me is just a tad a bit expensive, but i do want decent ram to go with it.
 
@ easyrider

the 667 are bit slower and more expensive. these are G.Skill 2GB DDR2 NR PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBNR) (MY-014-GS) faster and cheaper.

what do you think of these?
 
ok well do easyrider

i see you got the asus 975x board, i,m getting the 965 p5b deluxe, any opionions on this?
 
i am

not an overclocker or sli person?

i know the 975 clocks better and sli or crossfire ready as well
 
cheers dude

just looking at psu and i,m nearly done?

its either the seasonic or fsp Epsilon?

any idea or anything on this
 
@absent

i agree with you, i do plent of coding and occassional gaming

hows it in terms of stabilty, did you download any new bios or drivers or used everything from the driver cd?
 
absent said:
I have installed the updated bios, the board came with the initial release bios from a few weeks ago (obviously). Apart from that using everything off the install cd. Seems 100% stable so far, no problems what-so-ever. Premiere Pro 2 and After Effects 7 go like the clappers.
