Hmmm welp is this a typo then?

Says it is running at 2000mhz but in the specs 1.8. Cornfused I am.
I also wonder if the E6 stepping version is worth the extra 30 bucks, or should I spend it on the 3200+... The logic is jiving with me, sorry.
LOL! I have to keep telling myself that this is just supposed to be a 'step' / extra computer. BUT IT'S SO HARD LOL. I just need another computer right now to work on some of my networking garbage - but then I thought...hmmm maybe Intel is not the way to go these days. And thus, started the madness. I posted in here after a few days researching comp builds (after not having done so or even glancing at such things since 2001) - the topic was...$500 rig. THEN I started diving into things as much as time would allow to find the best bang for the buck.
All told, I probably could have taken a part time job at the local coffee house and been able to afford a better system intsead of reading and reading and reading about it, the games that are available...and the other forks in the road I keep taking
Anyway - this is not supposed to be my super gaming rig. I definetely see a 'line' where it JUMPS from pricing, from a fast fast system to the bleeding edge technology... and usually thats where I buy. I figure a system like that would cost me about 1200 bucks, possibly 1500 if I go a little overboard.
This system is just to get me back into some of the games I am missing out on, to be able to play some of the newer games on lower settings, then in a year - possibly a bit more, possibly a bit less - I will pop on a proper rig. At 34 (oh god it happens so fast) I have other responsibilities unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at things) that force me to yield to my wants and take care of the families needs
I'm so damn responsible!..................
SO - Thanks Cisco and Sid! I really appreciate it. Oh btw Sid, I was very excited with your post on the cores...that was Elite! Thanks!
