Hi,

I recently upgraded from a 4200 to E6300 and did a very mild but succesful oc from 7x266(1875) to 7x300(2100). The main reason I did get the 6300 was that I didnt have the money for the 6600. However I really wonder whether there is any noticable difference between the 2 CPUs. I mainly play at 1280x1024 full details and all the games I tried play great at stock speed. Company of heroes and GRAW play great, same as 4200+. Overclocking the E6300 was succesful but I didnt notice any advantage...So is it worth the faster cpu?
 
Aren't there any application or games that are CPU intensive? Office is not and I donty think that Photoshop will show any big improvement either. Anything else?
 
My point is that unless one has a super SLI setup, one doesn't need a 6600 or 6700 CPU. I really cant find any reason to overclock my CPU right now.
I use my PC for Office, Internet, ocasionally some video encoding (Divx-->DVD) and a lot of gaming at 1280x1024. In these applications I mention above, will I see any benefit by overcloking the 6300?
