Is the X6800 worth the price??

[cjayjay]

Hey guys.

Purchasing one of the new conroe processors and if i choose to i could justtt about squeeze one of these into my budget.....

CP-130-IN Intel Core 2 DUO Extreme Edition X6800 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.93GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (CP-130-IN)
£659.95 £659.95

HOWEVER - This is literally £300 pounds more expensive than edition below, now unless the extreme edition has some amazing unique benefits which the other models dont pocess - i feel the extra money isn't worth the extra 0.26Ghz of processing power and could be better spent on other things E.g:

1) Amazing 5.1 sound system
2) Very good water cooling system
3) ****Insert Here Good Money Spending Option****

In your oppinions do you think i should go for the X6800 or the edition below and balance out my computer with other stuff?

Thankyou!

Had a sneaky suspision that was the case

Just curious..Is there any difference in the overclockability of the E6600 compaired to the E6700?

Well what i mean is..

Im guessing the E6700 can overclock a little higher than the E6600 due to its higher base clock - However im curious to whether it can overclock higher relative to its base??
