Ok look everyone I am building a desktop for school i am trying to save as much money as possible while getting all the things i want:)
my question is..
can someone on CF tell me how much the price cut is. i was looking @ the quad core and motherboard ect and im wondering should i buy them on the 22nd of july.

all i want to know is if someone can tell me exactly how much money will i save.
ex:
50% off 10% off 6% off
you get the idea what im trying to say.

Yeah but the e6750 is $188ish isn't it? 2.66 1333 fsb.

I really dont see why everyone makes such a big deal about the faster FSB. I have the original E6400 that has a 1066Mhz FSB, and I was able to bump it up to 1900Mhz easily...
 
Intel's taken the wraps off of one of the four E6x50-series Core 2 Duo processors it first announced earlier this year, which are primarily notable for their new 1333 MHz front-side buses. The one getting all the attention at the moment is the next to top-end E6750, which clocks in at 2.66 GHz and is set to run $183 when it lands July 22nd. Coinciding with Intel's loosening of secrecy, the folks at The Tech Report got their hands on the processor to put it through their usual range of tests finding, not surprisingly, that the processor does indeed offer some modest performance gains over the previous E6700. The real gains, however, seem to be reserved for those willing to go the overclocking route, with Tech Report finding that they were able to push the processor all the way to 3.64GHz, making it the fastest dual-core processor they've seen to date.

I think its mostly a marketing ploy... I can't see their being a viable difference in performance between 1333 and 1066 FSB, due to the overclockability of those 1066 models. I've got the e6600 which runs on a 1066Mhz FSB.

If you compared that with say the lower models of core 2's, like say, the 4400, with 800Mhz FSB, then perhaps there is a bit of a difference, i couldnt quite see getting that up to and beyond 1333Mhz FSB without some kind of modifications.

But yeh, what im saying is that we're starting to get ton's and ton's of these different processors and all intel are doing are tweaking and combining different core speeds with different FSB's. Methinks they are trying to sucker people into thinking they are something new and great, i think they are running out of ideas for the core 2 duo range
