Somewhere near you...
Just about to buy conroe rig and wondering if I should go for a 6400 and overclock it the hilt or get a 6600 and do the same! Theres a £70 difference between the 2, would it be worth it for me to save 70 squids and put it towards watercooling??

Pretty sure the 6400 can overclock just as well as the 6600, but the 4mb cache sounds nice...would I see any real world performance gain having the 4mb over the 2mb on the 6400?

Will be buying 2gb GSkill 6400HZ, Asus P5B Deluxe and using a lovely sounding Ati X1900XT if it makes any differeence :)

Yeah I should have said I really want to push the chips with video encoding using CCE and also mess around with quite a bit of photo manipulation!

Think i'll stump up for the 6600 today then :)

cheers guys

man, excellent link right there :)

very useful comparing all those chips and a specific process you need timed to compare...

the video encoding stuff looks minted, a bog standard 6600 is like 5 ecs slower than an FX62, scary biscuits :eek:

Gonna order my rig tonight, finally! The gfx card arrived today from a member on here, mighty impressive looking bit of kit I must say :)

cheers guys
