Ok, so I built a rig back in april planning on a quad (q6600)...but after much deliberation i decided on a used e6600 for $150 +$15 shipping. half the price of the quad...but also not many apps taking advantage of 4 cores atm.
What kinds of differences can i expect from going from an oc'd pentium d 915 @ 3.5 ghz to an e6600 @ stock (or fairly heavy o'c as i have a thermalright si-128 that has been begging me to be installed for the past two months...).
rest of relevant specs are:
x1950xt + coolermaster cooler for max o'c
asus p5b-e (p965 rev limiting mem to 2.1v
)
ddr2 @ oc'd to 1066 5-5-5-15 (will run @ 4-4-4-12 @ 800mhz also)
oh, and i'm hoping to get $60 or $70 for my 915. it's one of the better steppings, and overclocks VERY well. if any tbf2'ers need an lga775 dual core proc., send me a pm. :) support included at no extra cost--i'm typing using this processor right now.
i've also been thinking about upgrading to a 680i LT...thoughts?
