| 551546 | 2007-05-20 22:30:00 | Of the Core 2 Duo CPU's featured here (www.pricespy.co.nz) which d'ya reckon is the best value for money right now? At this stage I considering putting it onto either an Intel D975XBXLKR Intel 975X ATX or an equivalent Asustek (www.pricespy.co.nz) . Thx. |

| 551547 | 2007-05-20 22:54:00 | Intel Core 2 Duo E4300, 1.8GHz for $182, should get to 2.93Ghz without a sweat, maybe 3.4Ghz+ with exotic cooling | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 551548 | 2007-05-20 23:03:00 | I've just done a bit more looking into it. I don't o/c. But I'm beginning to think either the E4400, 2GHz or E6420, 2.13GHz. | Greg (193) | ||

It's a new model and has 4MB cache while the E4400 is only 2MB (probably doesn't make much difference but I like the bigger number :lol: ) |

| 551550 | 2007-05-21 04:41:00 | Yeah, I'd go for E6420 too, or if I a bit more money, the E6600. I hope if I get an E6600 that I can bump it up to an E6700. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 551551 | 2007-05-21 06:38:00 | 6420 is the best as long as you team it up with a good motherboard for overclocking. A simple FSB change in the bios will get most to run at 3 ghz on stock no other changes needed! | apsattv (7406) | ||
| 551552 | 2007-05-21 13:50:00 | I've just done a bit more looking into it. I don't o/c. But I'm beginning to think either the E4400, 2GHz or E6420, 2.13GHz. I take it that you answered your own question then. You are the one paying for the combination. |

BIG Intel price cut that's all. :groan: NZ people should stay awake with the prices and news and just news in NZ. :cool: Joining the gamers, and overclockers forums help me a lot. If you don't mind about MOBO chipset the Intel 965 is the best deal. And go for Gigabyte brand if you think Asus is too expensive. |

| 551554 | 2007-05-21 20:45:00 | So what's coming out in July again? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 551555 | 2007-05-21 20:57:00 | "Bang for buck" is immaterial. You should buy the cpu that meets your needs. If you can't afford that you buy the one you can afford. |
