I've decided that my E4500 just isn't up to scratch. I'm getting a new CPU when i can.

Here are some choices, and what my mobo can support:
(there are more i haven't listed)

E5200 (wolfdale, pentium dualcore)
E5300 (wolfdale, pentium dualcore)
E6300 (Core 2 Duo)
E6400 (Core 2 Duo)
E6700 (Core 2 Duo)
E7300 (Core 2 Duo)

I'm mainly looking for more overall performance. Meaning in games, browsing, general O/S performance and anything else.

I'm looking for higher FSB, more cache, newer design (45nm), and higher frequency than my E4500 has.

It's specs:
2.2ghz
65nm
2mb cache
800fsb

You'll notice that what i have listed all have 1066mhz fsb, more than 2mb cache and higher or equal frequency.

My board cannot support quadcores. Out of those processors, which would the best bang for buck? I need something a little cheaper but able to outperform my E4500 by a fair, noticeable amount. :good:
 
Odds are if your board cant support quad core it wont be able to support 45NM CPUs, your best (65NM) options would be an E6700 or E6850
 
But my board does support 45nm chips, i've looked it up. Remember, this is an OEM board from acer.
 
Scout is offering me one of his motherboards for the price of shipping only, and it supports quads. :D
