Hey guys,
unfortunately, when I ordered my Conroe from TigerDirect, I must've been excited or something because I orderd the E6400 when I MEANT to order the E6600!!! ARG! OK so the Ghz isn't that big of a deal because OC'ing will take care of that (2.13 Ghz compared to 2.4 Ghz)...But what about the 2 mb vs. 4 mb of cache?
I guess I should expect some dumbass answer of "it's double the memory!" . But besides that, what kind of performance increase do you think it offers? Is it enough difference to blow my face off or is it just sort of noticeable? I WOULD try and exchange it, but I'd probably have to pay shipping both ways, as well as a restocking fee on top of the extra $100 it costs.
