E6300 (1.86GHz Conroe) vs Pentium 805 (2.66GHz Smithfield)
I think the simple answer is Conroe wins....

I have someone looking to buy my system for the same price I paid..
Question is... is it worth spending an extra £100 (?) or so to get the Conroe E6300 or shall I simply keep the D805 I already have?

Does anyone know what the performance differences are?
Another question... is there a mobo out there that supports both D805 and E6300?

Cheers guys

The 6300 on average is as fast as your 805... at stock when your 805 is at 3.8ghz. They overclock very well, with good air cooling you should see 2.5-2.6 before your board gives up then theres always volt mods etc.

At those speeds it would be far faster than an FX60

Thanks, does that mean if I move from what I have to E6300 and paying an extra £100-150, I'm downgrading? I guess we're not comparing OC'd 6300 to OC'd 805 here.

Some results of OC'd 6300 here - http://xtreview.com/review132.htm (don't know how real they are)

no... hes saying that a stock E6300 is faster the your OC's 805...

Ah okay

So, in terms of cost, it's worth sticking to the 805.
But from a new buyer point of view.. is it worth going for the E6300 instead of the 805?
