| 565772 | 2007-07-05 23:39:00 | is the e6850 the newer better version of the e6700? what should i go for out of the two? sorry complete noob | GHOSTN (12510) | ||
| 565773 | 2007-07-06 00:38:00 | Very little performance benefit at present as C2D has not saturated the 1066 bus yet. The C2D is all about Memory, fast memory whereas the AM2 is about RAM latency as it has a full speed memory controller on its on cpu. The only situation where this cpu will benefit you is where you have slower memory and need to run dividers for OC'ing. 2-4% increase over like speed previous version |

The real answer is we have to wait for a benchmarking comparison on reviews site. |

| 565775 | 2007-07-06 02:11:00 | will the e6850 work with the asus p5b motherboard? | GHOSTN (12510) | ||
| 565776 | 2007-07-06 06:29:00 | Good for the quad core, the small difference in clock speed will make little difference. Even a small overclock can easily remedy the difference in FSB and clock speed. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||

| 565778 | 2007-07-08 21:41:00 | It should work in the P5B, you will have to flash the bios to allow the board to take the faster FSB. ASUS haven't updated their site to say it will, so you should confirm with them. I am pretty sure it was part of the latest Bios update though. |

| 565779 | 2007-07-08 23:17:00 | I thought there was something about older chipsets not being able to take quad-cores, but a newer revision of the same chipset could handle it. I have no idea what the case is with that Asus |

ASUS haven't updated their site to say it will, so you should confirm with them. I am pretty sure it was part of the latest Bios update though. No, I don't think so. There was an interview somewhere on the net with a Gigabyte representative, and he said so far only the 975 chipset can support up to 1333MHz FSB, and the only way they could make the 965 chipset to handle 1333MHz FSB was to change the voltage regulator or something. They have to make physical changes, rather than just a BIOS update. That is why Gigabyte's v1.0 965P motherboards cannot support the newer C2Ds, while the v3.3 can, even though they are the same models. |

| 565781 | 2007-07-09 01:46:00 | so what are you guys saying? there is no motherboard to run the e6850 as of yet? | GHOSTN (12510) | ||
