I would say either the e6400 or e6600 is better value for money.

Re: preordering a e6700

No sensible motherboards available yet.

The extra 2MB cache in the E6600/E6700/X6800 has been shown to make 10%-15% improvement in games.

Lol, those things are quad core, right? Anyways, those are coming out next year, and they'll probably be uneccesary lol, i mean dual core came out like what, last year or something, now they're going for quad core when most applications don't even utilize dual core yet lol.

Yeah, if you guys haven't noticed by now Conroe is a cache whore.

Lol, cache whore. So conroe is a 'cache user' in otherwords lol. Does the extra cache help that much, i mean AMD killed all their AM2 2x1MB cache CPUs already, opteron will have 1mb and 2x1mb cache, but that's all. It seems to me that they think cache is not that important.

Cache isn't nearly as important for amd procs as it is for intel, so you don't need nearly as much.

Yea, and if you havent noticed, conroes are dishing out SPI times that are more than twice your times.

Being a cache whore isn't bad, it just means it benefits from more cache. Anyways, the conroe got a 10 sec spi time lol, but it was running at like 5.2ghz cooled by LN2.
