E2200 vs E2140

[MT01XP]

Is the E2200 worth paying an extra £12 over the E2140?

Do they both overclock as well as each other?

 

[prosser13]

I would say yes - from what I've seen you should be able to take the E2200 higher in terms of clock speed considering it has the higher multiplier

Great. Folliwing on from our discussion in the other thread, how about:

• Gigabyte P35, Socket 775, PCI-E, DDR2, SATA 2, SATA Raid Motherboard
  
• OCZ 2GB KIT (2x1024MB) DDR2 800 (PC6400) Platinum XTC Memory
  
• Intel E2200 Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz, 2MB Cache CPU - Retail

for £28 more than the

• AMD AM2 Athlon 64 4800+ Windsor Core, Dual Core 2.5GHz, 2x 512KB Cache, Energy Eff'' CPU - Retail
  
• Abit NF-M2S SKT AM2 DDR2, SATA2, GLAN, Audio Motherboard
• OCZ 2GB KIT (2x1024MB) DDR2 800 (PC6400) Platinum XTC Memory

Just built a system for a chum, banged an E2160 up to 3ghz at only 1.35v in bios, at 8 x 375. Not worth paying the extra for an E2200. Wish I'd bought an E2160 myself!

Spend some of the £28 on a 5000BE 2.6 unlocked multiplyer

or

5600 2.8G with 2 x 1mb L2 cache

Looks good Which Gigabyte board though?

KelticDaz - what can you get your E2200 to?

Oops, just realised this doesn't have integrated graphics. Any alternatives?

Aha: Asus P5K-VM

 

[-iceblade^]

i see no difference between the two; all you get is a higher multiplier...

i would, if given the chance, go for a 5000+BE, but then I am partial to AMD, so...

 

[spicypixel]

And a 780G board with integrated graphics to go with the 5000+ BE

 

[prosser13]

The Asus P5K-VM looks like a very nice board - I've got a P5K-E and based on this board I would highly recommend any P5K

 

[miceormen]

The multiplier is the only difference between e2200 and 40, but with only 20 quid in price difference i went with the higher model because I could. Together with my gigabyte p35 it runs just fine at 3.2ghz for hours of css, though i keep it at 2.6ghz for reassurance while i'm working.

 

[Duke]

Yes I would, for the higher multiplier.
