Differences between core 2 cpu's

[jseber1982]

Ok, why would somebody spend a $1000 bucks on a core 2 extreme 6800 over paying 300 bucks for a 6600?

The cache and fsb are the same.

An overclocked 600 is exactly the same as a stock e6800 right?

Now that i think about it. An e6800 probably runs cooler than an overclocked 6600 because the voltage would be lower right?

maybe i though people were getting the 6600 to 6800 speeds on stock voltage or near stock voltage.

dosent the 6800 have an unlocked multi?

 

[jseber1982]

yea thats what i am wondering. I have always overclocked athlon FX's in the past

X6800 has an unlocked multiplier
E6600 has an adjustable multiplier, at 9x max.
