What motherboard do you have? That most likely will be the deciding factor.
Here is a like for like comparison, in which they are fairly evenly matched: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/charts...ml?p=667%2C670

Depends whether you want to overclock?

What is your budget?

What is your budget?

It also depends on what you already have. So.. what do you already have?

With googling it seems that your mobo supports only FSB 1066MHz processors so E6550 is out of the question with it's 1333MHz FSB.

So that limits your options.

Hi guys...
Thx for the replies...

Thx looqas... yeah i saw my mobo box and it said it only supports 1066,800,533...T.T

Thx...I guess i have to buy the e6600 then...Thank u everybody...

But i do have one question...^^

How come the e6600 has higher cpu speed but the fsb is lower than the e6550???

Thx...once again

Check that there are no new BIOS's that support 1333mhz.

Ask Intel. It's just market placement.

I don't think so because it's a 945 chipset board.

You say it as if the e6600 is crap, its a very fast cpu and overclocks very well.

I got E6600 at 3.4ghz on only a 1.3125 Vcore.

Although, i did get the best stepping of it (thank God)
