    Performance wise. 0% difference. The PRO however, should have a better layout, better cooling, better voltage regulation, more BIOS options, better overckability, more ports (as SATA and USB), more features (as RAID)...etc

    CPU Upgrade Advice

    The E7200 is faster than the 6000+ by only 5%. Definately not worth $150. If you buy the 6000+ from newegg, you will also get a free game (GRID). If you aren't willing to play the game, you can use a a coupon (EMCAJAFAF) to knock $10 off
