We all know that the Core 2 Duo processors are famous for overclocking. I could buy an E6600 at 2.4GHz with 4MB of L2 cache, and overclock it to 3.6GHz on air. However, I could buy an E6300 at 1.86GHz with 2MB of L2 cache, overclock it to about the same speed, and save about $125. The only real difference is the amount of cache. Does 4MB of L2 cache really make the price difference worth it? Will I notice it when I'm playing Quake 4, Doom 3, F.E.A.R, or other new high-end games? Will it help me to rip my DVD faster? Will Solitaire run smoother?
Any input would be immensely helpful.
