Opteron_Prime :
E6850=x9
E6750=x8
E6550=x7
E4500=x11
I sn't it just the bus changed from 266 to 333:
E6600 clocked@333 to make the E6850
E6420 clocked@333 to make the E6750
E6320 clocked@333 to make the E6550
With that said, shouldn't we just buy the @266 version of the chip we want and save a little more cash before oc'ing?
I was gonna buy an E6420 with a 965 chipset but i think i'll buy the new P35 chipset (Asus P5K SE) and stick to this same CPU (not the new 6750). I'll spend the money saved from not buying the 6750 on a better cooler
So i figure I should be able to OC the E6420 from 2.13Ghz easily to 8x333=2.66Ghz
It's either that or I trust the retail HSF provided by Intel and buy the E6750 and run it stock.
I chose the E6420 cuz its the best price/performance ratio. The jump to E6600 costs much more.
If i was to run stock, the E6550 is probably my best price/performance ratio.
Any comments?!
