Hi guys,
I am considering building a new gaming PC on a reasonable budget. Till now, the way to go was the 6600 as it was clearly superior to the smaller 6400. With the advent of the 6420 though, which has 4 MB cache as its bigger simblings do, I am not so sure anymore. So, is it worth spending north of $100 (I live in Europe) more for a 6600 or perhaps save some money and spend the rest on a slightly better GPU (i.e. Radeon X1950 XT instead of X1950 Pro)? Tom's doesn't have the 6420 on its charts yet but thought that you boffins should know a few things. Thank you in advance.
