Will OC'ing a C2D 4300, Outperform the e6300?

EDIT: so I picked intel over amd.

Bought a nice motherboard that will support my cpu. I put the following as my most recent message at the bottom of this thread.

"
Man, I don't know what to do.. The only two difference I see looking at the 4300 comapred to the 6300 is:

The e4300 is 800 FSB

VS.

The e6300 is 1066 FSB and the e6300 supports "Virtualization Technology Support"


That's all I see. If I buy the e4300, and OC it to 3.0 ghz (which everyone is doing safely - with a better heatsink & fan)

It should do just as good as the 6300... and I can save my $30 right?"

Alright.

I was curious on how much the L2 cache plays a role in the performance (Intel's shared I believe? and AMD has two seperate cache, correct?)

Intel is 1.8ghz - shared cache? (but can be OC'ed to 3.0)
Amd is 2.6 - seperate cache?

Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

My next questions are:

1 Does the cache of the two effect performance with how they are setup?
2 WHICH motherboard should I use (and budget-wise) to OC the e4300? (Give me a few so I have a selection)
3 WHICH motherboard should I use to OC 5200?
4 How much better would each do when OC'ed?
5 WHICH would be the best performer after alteration?


Thanks

Right now Im trying to decide between an OC'ed intel 4300 or buying an e6300.

Advice?

Someone mentioned to me something about th ecpu throttling differently when it's OC'ed.

Will that effect performance of an OC'ed cpu?

with my tr-120x and my ga965p ds3 rev 1.3 i have my e4300 running at 3420mghz and it idles at 25c and max load is 48c...

damn that's impressive.

I already bought an asrock motherboard for intel core duo...

Now I'm trying to decide on either the e4300 or the e6300 (Only a $30 difference.)

does the e4300 OC'ed compare to the e6300? OR should I just get the e6300... cause that's what I'm thinking.

did you buy the asrock dualvsta or the asrock 4coredualvsta? if you bought the 4coredualvsta get the q6600. if you got the asrock dualvsta then wait for after july 22nd and get either the e4500 or the e4600 if its out

Actually, I can OC the 6300 as well, can't I? And get up to 3.0 ghz?

speedfan,core temp and everest reads the temp all the same. 25c idle 48c load.

equivocality- remember your motherbord goes as high as 300fsb max.little higher with modding but theres danger in doing that. the e6300 has a locked multiplier of 7 so highest oc you'll get is 300x7=2100mghz as for the e4300(muliplier of 9) or the e4400(mulipliwer of 10)you'll get more mghz out of. yes the e6300 is a fsb of 1066 and both e4300 and e4400 have fsb of 800 but you can do an easy mod to both e4300 and e4400 that sets them both at fsb of 1066.
highest oc-
e4300= 300x9=2700mghz
e4400= 300x10=3000mghz
e4500= 300x11=3300mghz

if you buy any of the e4xxx chips and later you want to upgrade your motherbord, dont get any of the gigabyte 965p xxx. they all GREAT motherbords BUT with the e4xxx theres a fsb wall of 400. the strap dont allow you to either hit 400fsb or higher. with any other motherbord you can surpass 400fsb but you have to do the chip mod and turn them from 800fsb to 1066fsb....if had a diff motherbord i would of easily hit 3.6ghz. im not complaining of my 3420mghz but im stuck with my ram @950mghz 4-4-4-10 when i can easily hit 1200mghz @ 5-5-5-15

so the e4300 can reach a FSB of 1066 safely?

Im just curious if the e4300 running at 2.4ghz or 3.0ghz (the fsb will be raised as well, right?) will perform better than the e6300 at 1.8ghz.
... will it?

i use a p180 case with 1 120mm blowing in and 2 120mm blowing out with a 120mm attached to my tr-120xblowing towards it. about to order 3 very powerfull 120mm fans and a smaller fan for my nb so i can lower temps even more. i thought of watercooling but its sorta of useless down here in orlando, florida. too much humidity will cause the setup to "sweat"

Here's my overclock for the E4300: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=217559 (doesn't show voltage but it's at 1.375 in Bios). I get 36C idle in Coretemp 0.95 and SpeedFan reports it around 27C idle (not a 15 degree difference though). I can get it to overclock to 3.6 ghz but my PC6400 cant handle that high FSB, if I run a divider 1:1 I can do it though. Also it even posts at 4.0 ghz and can boot into windows but after 1 hour I get BSOD. I'm cooling it on just air too with Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. Its pretty great, since i have a P35 board I can also upgrade to a Q6600 G0 stepping if I ever need quad core.
