TechSpot has overclocked the E6300 and E4300 and pitted them against each other and a stock E6700. The E6300's higher FSB seems to prevail, but the E4300's lower RAM requirement is definetely a bonus..budget-wise. :)

There was a great deal of hype surrounding the Core architecture. During September of 2006 the Core 2 Duo was officially unleashed upon the world and the results were staggering. The E6700, which still remains as the flagship Core 2 Duo processor, wiped the floor with any and all existing processors. Furthermore, the pricing for these new processors was also very competitive, forcing AMD to greatly reduce the retail value of all their competing products.

Huh?Yeah they have a few issues with reality. I guess the X6800 is considered an Extreme model, not a regular C2D. I also feel they should have gotten a little higher on the 4300 with an ULTRA-120. :?

I look forward to when THG adds both these processors to their price/performance charts.

I would like to see a review of the E4300 on the Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA. I could see a lot of these chips going into a budget/crossover board like this. You'd be looking at getting into a Core2Duo setup for just over $200, and even though overclocking is limited to around 300MHz FSB... getting a possible 2.7GHz C2D setup for $200 is just crazy kewl. 8)

Man, do I ever second that. The possibilty of using ddr400 ram and an agp video card makes a core2duo upgrade much more viable for a lot of people. I would like to see overclocking results with some ddr400 ram. I've heard that board doesn't have voltage adjustments unfortunately (vdimm in particular). That could put a damper on things very quickly.

That is a moot point because it hardly effects performance at all, besides you can easily turn an E4300 into an E6300 (minus VT) by changing the multiplier to 7x. Turning an E6300 into an E4300 is a lot more difficult with upward locked multipliers. :wink:

I wish they'd done that to see if the chip has any differences(being a true Allendale vs. a neutered Conroe) in FSB limits, or outright speed. :)

Are you saying there are ways around not having voltage adjustments in the BIOS? I am curious as to how else you can do this without soldering or something :? It could come in handy :)

Exactly. Volt-mod. Soldering a pot(potentiometer) or variable resistor to the motherboard. A lot of the new boards can be volt modded by using a pencil. The Graphite is drawn (if you will)onto a solder-point, and the thickness of Graphite varies the resistance thus varying voltage.

Soldered volt-mods: Note- Malves corner(the best mod instructional website IMHO), is no longer up. :x

I like the review over here at anandtech.com

http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2903Yes, there are better reviews of the E4300, but this one in particular has it overclocked, facing-off against an overclocked E6300. There are many, many posters wondering which is the better chip to get for overclocking, so i thought this article would show any FSB related differences...which there is a little though not a significant diff. Therefore, they are both very close in performance, and if the 4300 can be had cheaper(Q2 price-drop)...that combined with relaxed RAM requirements can save a few bucks. :D

there are actual mods for the CPU itself as well.
