Which the best C2D (1066 MHz) to go for, max budget =7K. (wud be good if under 6K :)))

i will be OC'n it once i get a ASUS P35 based or better m/b.

i have 512x2 GB Corsair DDR2 800MHz RAM, so suggest me a C2D which wud match these & wont bottleneck like the P4 3.06GHz (i'm usin it).

currently i'm using Intel DG965WH m/b, wil upgrade to Over Clockable m/b early next year.

--------
i'm noob when it comes to Proc. :oops:

as many of guys (here) suggested E4500 , is it really good for OC?

how can it beat e6700?

e4500 has 800MHz only.

Intel E4500 , Conroe - 2.2 GHz; 800MHz, 2 MB ,LGA = Rs.5250

what wil be the performance diffrnc between 2MB & 4 MB cache & the FSB?

4Ghz Here I come !
AFAIK, u can do the BSEL mod and convert the 800Mhz Fsb into 1066 Mhz.
I'd suggest u get a e4500 and get a good ocing mobo. It'll be worth it.

since ur getting a Asus P35 mobo then why not buy 1333MHz proccies like
E6550??
since ur getting the new mobo nxt yr i'll suggest u to buy the proccy too nxt yr.by then price of Q6600 is expected to hit 8k cuz penryn will be available by then.

Since you are getting new Mobo soon, as assassin said, wait for the new processors from both the stables to arrive, competition kick in and prices to come down.

ya but i'm getting the money frm "furniture allowance":)) so it shud be finished by this year.

if Q series hits 8k mark, i'll sell my PC cabinet & get m/b + proc. as a package.:))

E6700 2.66 GHz 4 MB 1066
E6600 2.40 GHz 4 MB 1066
E6420 2.13 GHz 4 MB 1066
E6400 2.13 GHz 2 MB 1066
E6320 1.86 GHz 4 MB 1066

ok.then buy the proccy by the end of December.
as of now ur best bet is the E6700.but if u can i'll suggest u to get a Q6600 as it'll be a better solution (a bit future proof) than E6700.
i've used the E4300 and it is a good proccy and a gr8 oc'er.so E4500 sud be a better proccy.u can even buy that.

Hey,
Well, a lot of what I said in the other thread has already been mentioned by the other more knowledgeable folks.

But seeing your board AA#, please keep in mind that Quad cores will NOT be supported in any case, sorry man, I too face the same problem. :) Yeah its a hardware thing, not a BIOS issue.

The choice of CPU lies in your hand, can't help you with that... just please dont damage the board with an incompatible CPU :).
The E6600 is always a great choice, if you can manage to get it. It can be overclocked later on as well, if required.

And if you dont believe me about Quad cores not being supported (before revisions d41692-305), please go thru various other forums, or ask Intel customer care (via email).

But as I said in the other thread, it would be great if you buy the CPU with your new motherboard, as the DG965WH is a complicated board.

Good luck!

& will this Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB work well on dg965wh m/b?

@dnjkane, dont worry buddy, i'm not going for Quad series, budget too low.

AFAIK hdds dont hav any compatibility issues with any mobos.

so a 320GB @ 3.3k will be a better deal than a 250GB @ 3k.

from that list of proccies u gave my bet is on the E6700.its the best that u can buy in ur budget.

@s18000rpm

the best thing i'd recommend is E4500 .. you can OC it really well on stock cooling itself ;) and its not expensive... use the remaining money on your mobo+gfx card purchase later on ;)

dont go for e4300, e4400... afaik they are based on allendale whereas the better c2d proccies are 'conroe's.. E4500 is conroe ;)
2.2 ghz E4500 is faster than 3.06 Ghz P4 by around 1.75 times. and thats when only one core is used ;)...

Also dont go for E6xxx series as the performance difference wont be much noticeable...

And if you start noticing after a 1-2 yrs that you pc is going too slow for new applications, you can add up more RAM and get yourself a new 45nm Intel quad core as well ;)

anyway which gfx card are you planning to buy? just curiuos :D

yeah, wat bikdel said is true.

E4500 is d better choice.....otherwise wait 4 nxt yr when u r buying m/b and go for E6650 or some procs with 1333 MHz.By dat time d cost will come down, when penryn comes.:)

You really need to inquire at pc hardware stores in your city about which CPUs are available - coz you have most of your information from online sources, but the real market conditions may vary.

I too agree with the E4XXX suggestion, no point in spending more money...
The E2XXX series is also decently fast, but only 1MB L2 cache.

The harddisk will work with the motherboard, no doubts.

man am i confused :confused:

should i wait till January or shud i buy the proc. now?

yes or no. :D

---------
i got in touch with the guy handling the "Allowance", he said its okay till january-feb.

about gfx. card - anything which wud fit in under $200/- in january 2008 :))

==========

btw wch m/b (asus, & othr OC brands) is based on "Intel X38 Express Chipset" ?

this chipset has "Intel® Turbo Memory"
Breakaway performance meets energy conservation

*www.intel.com/products/chipsets/X38/graphic_rhc_X38.jpg
Intel® Turbo Memory lets your system actually learn your habits to provide better system response. That's because it stores frequently used information near the processor, where it's more quickly available.
