Core2 E6300 vs Pentium D805

I can only find the E6400 vs the 805, but the E6300 isn't much slower.
Play around in the link above, and you'll see the E6400 beats the 805 at everything, and by some margin. (Both at stock).
If you can overclock the 805 well, then it's a fast chip, though runs hot and uses a lot of power.
Then again, the E6300 should clock well also, and then a gap would appear. It's also a lot less power hungry, especially at stock.
The E6300 is more expensive, but worth every penny over the 805 in my opinion, and I've owned both chips.

Mobo - £100, Ram - £150, E6300 - £125.
I work that out as £375. Plus the resell value of whatever you had which might have been £100 possibly more. That works out as only £100 (375 - 100 = 275) more than the price of your X2 4600+ except the £100 extra owns it because it overclockers to the X6800 speeds which you can see is excellent in all tests (Only saying about overclock cos I think 4600 can only go FX-62 speeds).

At stock speeds the E6300 could probably be roughly compared to the AMD X2 4200. In Sandra benchmarks floating point is about the same, integer somewhat faster in the Intels favour. It will be substantially faster than a stock 805.
Overclocked it depends on your platform etc and luck to some extent, as to how far you can go. An E6300 at say, 3.2 ghz will destroy an 805 at 4 ghz though, by a wide margin.

To be fair the E6300 (other than in Sandra where floating point = ALL AMD and even P4 EE are up there at the top) its quite a bit faster than the X2 4200. If you look at the CPU charts (It only has E6400 but you can get the point) which is equal to the FX-62 in a lot of the tests or the ones its beaten in its the same as an X2 5000 (mostly). The E6300 isnt a lot slower (same difference between X2 3800 and X2 4200) which tbh isnt much!
A noob that just bought a *************** with e6300 for £799. Absolutely no way to overclock with a **** mb. Just think of all those 6300's that will only run at stock! So much potential, what a waste.
Thats not even cheap is it? How much do you think **** buys its 6300's for?

yes I know there fast , but look at the benchmarks on that site stelly.
for most apps (not games) the 6600 (2.4) is only around 1-1 and half mins faster in encoding. (wich is what Im interested in)
and for games , I think it scored 170 fps in Quake 4 ,my 4600 scored 130.
imho 130 fps is err fast enough for me , I couldnt justify the 500 pounds for the sake of 40fps

My price I was referring to was £145 + VAT
Im saying if you sold your current PC for £100 (MOBO, Your old CPU, RAM) and then bought everything you need for conroe including the processor for £375. £375 - £100 = £275. Your X2 4600+ cost £170 alone so for £100 more you could have got a system which thrashed it.
