6000+ X2 vs E4400

[jhyukkang]

hellow
im choosing between those 2 and not planning to overclock. cus i dont play a lots of high ended games.
so with stock speed and FSB
which one is better?
i know 6000+ has 3.0Ghz and e4400 has 2.0Ghz. is there big difference between those two??(like in games can you feel the differences??)

With no overclocking the 6000+ will blow away the e4400

its a pretty large difference. however you will have to buy a seperate heatsink for the 6000+ as it does not include its own.

6000+ > e4400 @ stock speeds

and the 6000+ comes with a very nice heatsink that has heatpipes

In my opinion, the 6000+ would have better performance.

But to really feel the difference? Well.. that would more depend on the video card.

If having better benchmarks score matters more, and you don't want OC involved, then the 6000+ would be the choice to get.

I'm using a E4400, and very happy with it. It's OC to 2.8 for now, and handles pretty well for 125 bucks. . o O (but dats what OC is all about)
