E6600 Vs E6700

HumanMage · 11-15-2006, 04:34 PM

A simple question here; how much different is the E6600, from the E6700 performence wise. I compared the specs on both and the only thing I noticed that was different was the operating frequency. And that wasnt even that large of a difference, only a .26 difference. Also you save around $200. Is it worth the extra 200 and spring for the 6700 or is the 6600 suffiecient for tasks such as video games, lisetening to music, school tasks, and internet use?

The E6700 isn't worth it. Just get the E6600.

I agree with Jet, the price difference is not worth it.

i agree too... but if i were paying that much for a proc id rather get the unlocked multi of the X6800.
basically, i suggest the e6600... though core 2 duo wont be the best for long. not more than a year ill bet. not including quad core of course, that actually requires more power compared to dual core whereas dual core doesnt even use more electricity over single core.

cant reccomend intel, too high clock speeds too little performance.

amd dude... is where its at.
