Looks like im getting a 6000 hehe

 

[INTELCRAZY]

Yup, 6000 for my brother instead of E6420...

 

[kof2000]

already built a amd6000 rig. isnt too much of a drop actually.

 

[xxxalpinexxx80]

im still int it for a quad is the 6000+ faster then e6600

 

[Froboy7391_99]

Now the E6550, which is the closest competition to the 6000, costs more right?

 

[xxxalpinexxx80]

you save a few but not as much as a quad 500-380 200+

 

[12-Gauge]

Awesome, been waiting ages for a price drop .

 

[INTELCRAZY]

Myself I am getting the E6850, 3dMark06 is 2850 stock....

What is the comparison between E6850 and 6000+

 

[Froboy7391_99]

6850 would blow it out of the water, the 6000 performs between 6600 and 6700.

Good, I like it described that way..... I have $1900 to spend on my next PC

 

[Livzz]

so... E6750, or X2 6000 ?

i've been quoted $270 (australian) for the E6750 after 22 July, and the current price for the X2 6000 is $216...

E6600 is slightly faster

At stock speeds 6000+ performs better, but E6420 overclocks much better performs better

Now the E6550, which is the closest competition to the 6000, costs more right?

E6550 cost $163

E6750 cost $183

It is confirmed by Wikipedia that the E6850's release price will be $266. I am getting it about a week after, yup, sure of it. I need to talk to my Intel insider, lol, maybe he would give me some more info.

 

[treddstone]

E6750 for me...I've never been an overclocker but I want it just to do that.

 

[kof2000]

q6600 for moi

 

[treddstone]

I've never dealt with a quad or (like I said) OC'ing. How do the quads respond to that? Are they just stupid fast or are they already quick enough?

 

[kof2000]

they score higher in benchmarks that take advantage of all cores. other than that they're like dual cores for now. is good to have more cores and cache anyways

From what i have read and seen, the 5600 is better than the 6000+? i hear it uses less power and runs cooler, also if you oc the 5600 it will outperform the 6000+....

The only reason i got the 5600 was because of my budget at the time.
Anyone read this? i cant remember but i seen it on a few review sites but can remember were.

Btw: just my luck, they do a price drop after i already bought the darn thing
