The 6300 gives best bang per buck for sure

I reckon the E6300....so cheap for such a great CPU - that said, the E6600 is a mighty performer for the money too......to think I paid more than this for an X2 3800+ only about a year back how things change......

The only Conroe mentioned here is an E6600, The E6300 is an Allendale

Sorry pedantic mood this morning I've got to tell 4 people at work they no longer have a job

Well they are a conroe effectively just had 2 of the 4meg cache disabled, i imagine the op didn't realize and thought they were all conroes.

6300 has best overclock from base.
but the 6600 has better L2 so I'd go for that.
also if you TOTALY fail to overclock, the 6600 will pwn anyway.

Def' e6300 or e6400 and a 965 board....and then overclock it

Do it on a friday fella,

i know its a crap job to do, had to do it recently here as well.

back on topic, 6300/6400 are great clockers, but 6600 if your limited on your clocking options.
