Please help me to choose: intel E6300 vs intel E4300

I want to build new PC, but don't know which CPU is best suit. Can someone give option?

I would like to build a PC with micro ATX case. So, the temp. of CPU does matter as there will not much space for ventilation.
I have seen post from other forum commenting that E4300 is less hot than E6300.

Is it worth using E4300?

Get E6300

the core 2 duo line run pretty cool anyway so with the stock HSF you should be safe, if you're worried at all simply pick up an another branded HSF to improve the cooling and you'll be fine

AFAIK, the difference in price is only around $10-$20, unless they dropped recently.

The E4300 only has an 800Mhz bus, and unless your overclocking, is a pretty significant downgrade from the E6300.

yea why did they even make the 4300? its not much less in price and its really slow too. most AMD x2's beat it

It will be alot cheaper, it's pretty new isn't it?

 

[notsmart101]

Do you people not read benchmarks? http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2903
Overclocked, the 4300 surpasses server class CPUs for about $170...
Hmm. Seems that the 6300 is selling for less. I don't know, I think you'd get away will cheaper RAM with the 4300 and end up spending less.
