OT: E6400 vs. E6600 in DC progs...

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

I know this is really stupid to ask, and I hate to waste a thread in DC, but has anyone have any experience with crunching comparisons between a E6400 & E6600? I'm trying like crazy to find out if the extra 2mb cache helps out for DC programs. But all of the benchmarks and stuff I can find just do gaming benchmarks and stuff...

The extra cache can make a pretty big difference on some F@H WUs, not so much on others.

You can check out this link:

to see how much difference. Look especially at projects 1495 and 1497 (I think)

I'll just say that my E6600s kick some major SETI crunching ass.
