| reply to HFB1217 Re: Which Quad would you buy a 9300 45nm or 6600 65nm ?
The question becomes, do you plan to overclock. A 6600 has a higher multiplier, due to the lower FSB. That means a higher clock speed per FSB Mhz bump. Sure you can overclock the 45s, but you are already starting at a pretty high FSB, with a lower multiplier, requiring more expensive ram to get it up high enough to result in a decent clock speed.
Then again if you don't overclock, there is no reason not to get one. The electricity and heat savings are definitely worth the $50 price difference. -- Intel Quad Core QX6700 @3500Mhz/Asus P5N32-E SLI/4x 1024Mb Corsair/Seagate 750.10/PNY 7800GTs SLI/Silverstone 850W/Custom water cooler |
