FAO Gibbo - Intel E4300 ETA?

[Dark_Angel]

Gibbo, I dont suppose you know if OCUK will be getting these amazing little chips in?

I was thinking of grabbing one in place of an E6300, and then just waiting to the end of the year to grab a quad core.

HI there

Yes we go orders in place, expect them in 1-2 weeks.

I must say, OCUK CONTINUE to....

Impress Me. I think I will leave the system I was going to buy on hold for a few weeks then, was going to buy it next week, but will probablly wait till start of feb time, that way at the least I can have the money to get hte 8800 GTS, and get one of these beauties

Probablly won't pre-order. just grab one in a few weeks

Hmmm a lot more than i thought they would be was expecting £95 maybe.

If they go down to about 99 or something I will grab one, otherwise I don't see the point in the 4300 and will probablly get the 6300 instead.

BUT they are only pre-order, hopefully they will go down

The advantages this has over the 6300 is a x9 multi instead of x7 on 6300, same cache, so basically they should over clock far far better than a 6300.

Pretty much the same clock speeds at stock, just means like for me to hit 2.8 i need 400x7 to reach it on me 6300, on one of those you wouldn't need such fast ram , for example the same on the 4300 400x9 would hit 3600 effectively, to hit 2.8 you would only need 310x9 ish.

/be kind

I guess that the lower FSB of the CPU means nothing then? because you are overclocking?

So tempted to upgrade my rig to a little Micro ATX Core 2 Duo system.

Managed to spec this little lot:

Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC 256MB GDDR3
GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC5300 667MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
NEC AD5170 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter
Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache
Lian-Li PC-V300 Aluminum Micro ATX Mini Tower Case - Black
Asrock Conroe945G-DVI (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard Seasonic S12 430W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply

for around £550.

Might as well wait a bit longer for the E4300. Even if I don't go for one, I'll be able to pick up the E6320 with its 4MB Cache.

Are they 6320 released at the same time as these then?

Trojan - According to ocUK they run perfectly with 64 bit... http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-142-IN

ETA reads just before Feb.

As for the 4300, I *ASSUME* (not really sure) that they are labeled that because their FSB speed is 800 rather than 1000.
