The e4300 is look very tempting at the moment after it dropped from about 100 quid a month ago to about £65 (not inc VAT) now.
The e6600 looks good too at £130, buts thats still about double the price of the e4300.
If I overclocked an e4300 to the speed of the e6600 or a bit higher, would it perform just as well as the e6600 (mostly gaming wise).
If I get an E6600 I probably wouldnt be looking at overclocking, as if I mess up it will be void of warrenty and thats 130 quid down the drain instead of a potential £65 with the e4300.
Also how would overclocking an e4300 affects its lifespan in general? I would looking at overclocking to 2.4 to 2.8ghz, not to the 3.2ghz most people do.
I've never tried overclocking yet, so I dont know first hand of the issues surrounding it, only what I've read on t'internet.
