Ive not been on these forums for a while...

And ive just read a few threads on the Intel E6300 processor and its surprising performance.

My first question is: Can anyone please link me to some games benchmarks for it ?.

Secondly, as ive heard its generally as fast as a X2 4800+ im considering this as an upgrade from current system (if its good for gaming):

AMD 64 3000+ Winnie (2.4Ghz)
Asus A8N-SLI
1GB Geil Value RAM
6600GT (600/1200)

Of course i would notice more if i coupled it with a 7800GT and 2GB of RAM on a new mobo, but just CPU wise how much of a performance gain would i notice?.

Do you think the processor would be good for games in the future such as:

Medieval 2 Total War
Stalker (if it ever comes out!)
Crysis (i think its on PC)
and more...

I'd appreciate any input,

Thanks

Thats some serious kit there, and the potential OC sounds amazing, thanks for the info meight.

As for overclocking the chip, what are the idle and load temps at stock on the supplied fan (if you know them that is).

Im guessing i might have to replace my Akasa 460W PSU aswell, could you reccomend a decent PSU please?.

Oh and whats with the ATI X1800XT?, is that the choice of GFX cards these days, it does seem unusually cheap for an ATI card.

EDIT: Just seen the review links as i posted my message, thanks for links
