Newegg has E4400/6320/6420 now!

If I get a E6420 and some DDR2-800 RAM. What expected OC can I get relatively easily while keeping the ram at spec?

If I don't get a 6420, what's the best proc. for an easy OC while keeping DDR2-800 ram in spec?

good choice, for OCing, there is almost no difference or even better oc result you can get, when compared with E6600, from recent reviews, you can easily oc your e6420 to 3.2Ghz wth your ddr2 800 ram working at stock frequency 800mhz.

 
If I don't plan on OCing my computer ever what one would be the one to get...?
I have 1200 dollars to buy a complete computer ( aka with LCD monitor, etc.)

I don't game a ton so I was wondering if I should just buy a 7XXXseries card or wait for the R600 to come out and in the mean while just buy like a 30 dollar graphics card, thus the 7XXXseries would go down in price.... what do you think...???

Thanks!

If you don't game then get a 8600GT will do or 7xxx will be ok as well. But the CPU you probably should get 6600/6700 if you don't OC.
 
5-10%? are you kidding. Maybe in synthetic benchmarks. In any real world stuff, 2mb vs 4mb should be like 1% or below performance difference heh.

With that said, id still easily pick the 4mb over the 2mb, no reason other than they seem to overclock like champs.

agree, it doesn't make much difference if running at the same frequency. A good reason to choose conroe over allendale is the better OC ability of Conroe. That's why you see that an E4300 at 3.2Ghz is faster than a X6800 at stock speed from the anandtech reviews.

What? Your statement seems to go in a circle. Are you saying an OC'd Allendale is better than a stock Conroe, or are you saying a OC'd Conroe is better than an OC'd Allendale? Sorry but i'm confused...

 
I was trying to say the cache doesn't affect alot. if a allendale and a conroe run at same frequency, benchmarks are close.

REAL NUMBERS

5-10% is correct (sometimes less, sometimes more)

Edit: Ok, so maybe it should be worded as 0-10% 🙂
 
The way I read that benchmark is, 1% or below in everything with the exception of those 2 games at a max of 8%. Which I would almost call faulty benchmark testing. I dont know how 2mb cache would have yielded 8% in both those games. Id say that benchmark is bs for those 2 games. If you have ever benchmarked a game before, you can actually end up with different results even on the same exact computer. They will never be the exact same FPS. If I had to guess, that is what you are seeing, not the little extra cache.

Anyways, its a moot point, those 5 fps in 2 games would not even be close to noticing a visual difference. It might as well be 0%.

Anyways, almost everything else on that page is either synthetic or some application that you could not even tell a difference in, which are mostly 1% or below.
 
I placed an order from newegg yesterday with free 3days UPS shipping, just checked the UPS status, it's out for delivery, I will get my CPU this afternoon, unbelivable fast shipping.
BTW, newegg has 1.75% FATCASH back now.
