Core 2 Duo and FSB

Hello, I am looking at the different current and upcoming models of Core 2 Duos and questionning a bit on performance since I am curious and want to make a good decision when my time will come...

E4300 has 800mhz and it runs at 1800mhz
E6320 has 1066mhz and it runs at 1833mhz
E6700 has 1066mhz and it runs at 2666mh
the upcomming E6750 will have 1333mhz and it runs at 2666mhz

How does the FSB impact on performance, will there be a huge difference in each of these CPUs provided that they are NOT overclocked. How are these going to compare in real life performance. I'm currently not a gamer, but my current computer doesn't allow me to play games; I used to play some and would like to restart that... Besides that, the general surfing web, office, music, movies and stuff.
 
The front side bus is pretty much the speed or time it takes the processor to communicate with the chipset and other peripherals and memory and what not. It used to be more of a deciding factor before intel blew the market up with their new cpu's. AMD's have always had fast FSB's but now the c2d's architecture is superior regardless of it's FSB.

Anyways, faster the better, making a decision about those processors will be based on price because they will all meet or exceed your expectations at the price you purchase them at. If you want a more budget orientated build go with what is cheapest, if you want more performance, go with the mid range one and if you want a multi processing beast, get the best.

Also you mentioned no overclocking, but with the right mobo you can get much better performance with the budget price and it has very limited chance of failure with these new and cool c2d's.
 
Then, I may o/c mildly, but my main concern is stability, cuz my current computer was never stable (and never o/ced) and I changing for that very same reason. Also, I find that the E6750 would be great for 183$ as it is supposed to be in Q3, just unsure of when Q3 starts, cuz I plan to build mine in mid July.
 
You know that if you OC it'll ruin your warranty, before you do OC, leave it a while to make sure your CPU actually works. Otherwise, if it doens't and you OC then they'll think you wrecked it and you won't get another one.
 
Cant find the E6750

I tried using the search button on the intel website for the E6750, but get 0 results.

Where is a good place to study the difference between the C2d's of 1066FSB now in existence and the next gen. C2d's of 1366FSB, said to be released in quarter 3, this year?

I also don't understand why if the FSB makes the computer go faster, then why are the soon to be release 1366FSB C2d's less expensive than todays 1066 FSB C2d's? Where can I study this and compare them? Does anybody know the answers to these questions?

Ya, before o/cing, I will surely enjoy the computer going at extreme speed and awesome stability compared to my current one.
