E2180

[Merkwürdigeliebe]

The E1200 at stock speeds won't be faster that your current CPU

Even E2180 is not much faster unless you overclock it

^Agreed

save up for an E8400 or E8500 instead

ehhh e2180 is on par with athlon x2 5000's... i'd say thats a huge upgrade compared to a pentium d.. THOSE ARE COMPLETE GARBAGE....

it is currently on sale at tigerdirect for 59 as well. but the nearest micro center is about 1.5hr away. and 59 is half way to a e8500 but my mobo doesn't support the new 45nm procs.

im pretty sure theres a bios update for your mobo that came out not too long ago which adds support for all the new 45nm cpu's including the e2*** and e1*** series.

my e2180 @ 3.0ghz out did my fx60.. so i don't know what you people are talking about

i've looked on the ecs website and looked at the bios updates and saw nothing about 45nm cpu's. so sadly i'll have to get a new mobo for 45nm's
