im new to overclocking (i dont even have my stuff ordered yet)

what im reading is the 6600 needs more juice could this be because of the 4mb cache needs a little more seems like alot of people are compareing the 2 and if the 6400 dose have a edge in o/c this is my uneduicated guess

The E6600 seems horrible compared to the E6700 and X6800. The new week 27 E6600's seem to be very strong though. More cache also consumes more power. The E6300/6400 may clock better due to their smaller cache size (less heat). You do need a very high fsb motherboard for this though, and probably better ram than you'd need with the E6600.
