What would be the cheapest processor that would cope with running an 8800gts 640mb? I was looking at the C2D E6320 originally but I was wondering if I could go for a cheaper one?

If anyone could also suggest a mobo to go with a suitable pair that'd be great :)
 
e4320? ok thanks very much.
and don't worry jonny_uk, i was planning on that already!! It's rather past it's prime, the 3000...
 
wait a second, is there even such a thing as an e4320? i know there's an e4400 and an e4300 but i can't say i've ever heard of an e4320
 
No, I originally thought they were making an E4320 and E4420 as well but nope. Currently they only have stated that they are releasing the E6x20 models.
 
back to square one then. what about just the e4300? or maybe i should wait a month or so and hope they actually DO make an e4320
 
4mb cache is hardly any real world performance than 2mb on the C2D's. Only a few things does it shave a few seconds off such as encoding.

Gaming is hardly any difference so the E4300 is fine.
