Need some info with proccesors

[BXtreme]

ok, first a question. Why doesn't tomshardware enter the rest of the processors ??? E6300 and
remaining A64 X2s ? It's confusing for me to find out where the proccies stand out
And there's (maybe) no other cpu performance charts for AMD and Intel side-by-side, if there is , do tell me
So, where does the stock E6x00 lie anyway in performance vs the X2's NOT listed in the tomshardware charts ? like where does the E6300 lie, where does E6400 lie and so on......
Now that AMD has broken the price barrier Comparison must've been changed by price/perf.
Any help is appreciated
p.s. last time I asked sorta like this and it got unanswered....nevermind, plz these questions now

[pt]

the e6300 is between the x2 3800+ and the x2 4200+ in gaming performance
and sort of, so on,

[BXtreme]

ya, I would like to know the so on plz
Tomshardware isn't updating them

and sort of, so on,

look here for benchmarks

Corrected.

[largon]

5200+ has a marginal gain on 5000+ because they'r both 2.6GHz but 5200+ has a larger L2 cache.
5400+ would actually be faster than 5000+, 2.8GHz vs. 2.6GHz respectively.

[BXtreme]

Intel vs AMD pls
Like i'm going for 5200+ AM2 OR any1 above it, what would it be against the E6x00 line-up ?

[largon]

5200+ would be a little bit faster than E6400 but clearly slower than E6600.

[BXtreme]

I'm spending $200 on it, which proccie should i get, intel/amd whatever...
so what do you guys think ?

[bigboi86]

Go to xtremeforums and look at the superpi records, you should be able to see where each chip lies, since most of the variants are almost identical..

If you could afford it all, the Core 2 Duo systems are faster, and overclock even better. If you want a considerably cheaper, yet almost as good setup, go with a cheap x2 AM2 processor.

[little geek]

this is some thing that cheeses me no one benchmarks older 478 cpu's like the northwoods,no fair for 478, intel users!! i always end up with the cpu nobody wants!

[largon]

BXtreme,
Wait until the C2D price drop comes into effect.
You'll get a E6600 for a little bit over $200 within this month.

[BXtreme]

hm, I'll look for E6600 then
Btw, where does 5600+ stand out vs c2d ?

[largon]

5600+ = 2.8GHz = 5400+.
5600+ has a larger cache which makes it slightly faster.

[BXtreme]

nevermind , 5600+ is in Tomshardware. It's almost the same average in performance
Games=same, Photoshop=E6600 leads, iTunes=5600+ leads.
But overall, E6600 seems to be a better option
But I was going for the K9N Diamond.....where am I going to find a 775 alternative for that
I have the asus p5b in an E6300 @ stock as my 2nd rig, the AMD ones I was thinking was to substitute it ...
any suggestions for the mobo (775) ?

[largon]

P5B Deluxe and Abit QuadGT are very good boards for E6600.
If you want something different you might wan't to try DFI 975X/G.

How is this setup (not sure though if I can get 'em but i'll try )
E6600
DFI Lanparty UT ICFX3200-T2R

I don't want to do uber overclocking atm, so maybe be this may strike out

looks good if you're going to buy the r600 later
and how uber overcloking re yu going to?
water, phase, n2o?

@ gfx = 8800GTS 320mb
@ Overclocking = Not now cpl of months l8er when water cooling will get cheaper lol.
I want to see the true power of a higher conroe at the stock first, then oc it l8er
Hope I do get these this month Will these be @least satisfactory, i.e keep the taste ?

if you're going for nvidia why not get a board with i680 chipset?

DFI Lanparty one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136032
200$
The rest of 680 are around 300$

[BXtreme]

WTF MY AVATAR TOO!

[largon]

DFI ICFX3200-T2R has one problem: AMD RD600

It's slower and more expensive than i975X.
And I hear it's a pita to OC.
