|
|
The e6850 costs about the same as the Q6600, but has a higher bus speed and clock speed.
Was thinking that if some money magically appeared I'd get a new system with one of these chips pushing it. Not sure I really need Quad Core, after having it for about the past year, and the 1333 MHz on a super fast chip might be more fun!
Looking for some ideas on coolinf performance... And overclocking ability.
Plus, my current AMD 4x2.0GHz may just get moved into a webhosting roll to drop that $$$ pain in my wallet. |

Well... Guess I have to do my own research...
Saw some interesting articles with some nice performance data:

Yea Sorry J... I haven't been on top of CPU's as of late. I *THINK* we're going to upgrade around X-mas time, so I know AMD are coming out with some new CPU's around then (Quad core), and I'm sure Intel won't let the challenge go unanswered.
So I'm not worrying about CPU's until about November some time. |

Well, I pulled the trigger on the e6850 and a new motherboard. Hoping for good things, but just needed something in order to let my current machine take on a role it was more suited for... 4x 2.0GHz cores and 4GB ECC REG DDR is begging for server duty, and it will get it. Makes a nice upgrade to the current server too (Dual Athlon MP 2800+ processors and 2GB ECC REG DDR). Hell, I'm using WinXP 32-Bit and it only sees 3.25GB of that memory anyway... |

What mobo did you get BB? Cooler? The e6x50's are great all around cpu's and definitely offer quite a bit of headroom in the OC'ing department. What do you think so far?
Can't believe I didn't see this thread when you first posted it, I must have been busy. _________________
