Right, I need to have an arguement settled and I'm hoping that you can help 
Me and my big brother were arguing about which would be a better cpu for over clocking.
My big brother argued that the E6300 is much better as it's better value for money and that you can clock it to e6600 speeds and higher and that cache doesn't make all the difference.
I argued that the E6600 is a true conroe and has double the amount of cache of the allendale. Also being already at higher stock speeds it should technically clock higher.
So does cache make a difference?
Would an e6600 being cooled by an AC 7 pro clock higher than an e6300 under the same set up?
What sort of performance differences would you see in gaming between the two?
cheers
