I was wondering what the difference between the two were. the E660 is more 35 dollars more expensive ''on newegg'', less ghz ''2.4'', and it has a lower fsb 1066. The E6750 on the other hand beats all of them and is cheaper. Is there something that I am not seeing here?

No you are seeing it right. The E6750 is better in everything so I would go with that one if you are deciding between the 2 and you motherboard can handle the 1333fsb.

Best,

I swapped my 6600 for the 6750, temps dropped about 15c, and running steady at 3.4, vs 3.1 on the 6600.

Very happy with my purchase.

The reason is that the E6600 is an old part and is available in lower quantities than the E6750, hence the E6750's lower price.

Ahh, I guess that makes sense. It just seems odd for it to be 30 bucks more...

Intel wants its cusotmers to buy 1333MHZ CPUs instead of 1066MHZ CPUs (with the exception of Q6600 )

Doesnt the e6600 OC better than the e6750?

Well shot down lol

I thought because of the higher multiplier and the lower stock FSB the e6600 could be pushed further as the e6750 is 1333fsb with 8x and e6600 is 1066fsb with 9x

E6600 was one of the best 1066 OverClockers and E6750 is one of the best 1333 OverClockers

if u want to know which will OC better? 1066 or 1333, well here are good articles about E6700(1066FSB) vs E6750(1333FSB):

I am pretty sure the E6600 OCs better. From what I know, it is because of the 1066fsb.

Haha, I was just going to post a topic asking this same question. Looks like I'm going with the 6750.

E6600 has a multiplier of 9, E6750 has a multiplier of 8, both are locked.

At default, E6600 clocks at 9X266=2.394 ghz
At default, E6750 clocks at 8x333=2.664 ghz

When OCing, assuming you use DDR2-800 Ram with a FSB of 400.

E6600 would clock at 9x400=3.6 ghz
E6750 would clock at 8x400=3.2 ghz

This is not accounting for heat and voltage. You can safely and easily get both processors up to 3.6 on air, so in the end there is no reason to get the E6600 unless you plan on trying to push the chip to insane speeds with insane cooling. The higher multiplier would then give you more flexibility on adjusting your FSB.

From this i get e6600 is better for OCing lol... like i said... but i do get what you are saying you shouldnt notice much difference in air cooling solutions.

Id say the only real reason to buy a e6600 now would be extreme OCing as said or id your mobo dont support 1333FSB as the e6600 is dearer everywhere ive looked.

Yea, its a dual core good a buy for people using 1066fsb mobos. They are not that old.

 

q6600 is a good buy for people looking for quad cores, e6750 is a great buy for a dual core with a mobo of 1333fsb.
