What is difference between i7 2600S /2600 and 2600k ?

[Mfusick]

Which one is the best? Unlocked?

is the 2600 worth $80 above the 2500 ?

6MB vs 8MB cache and 100mhz worth 80$ ?

S=energy efficient and slow clock speed
k=unlocked multiplier and hd 3000 graphics
no sku=limited unlocked multiplier and hd 2000 graphics
For gaming 2500k is just fine.2600k would be simply waste of money.
However it could be usefu for other task which uses multithreading like video editing,3ds max etc
