Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6750 processor (2.66GHz, 1333MHz, 4MB cache) or Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6850 processor (3.00GHz, 1333MHz, 4MB cache) For the sake of £100 is there that much different to the performance? Just need to know if it's realistically worth it, from someone in the know. Cheers.
Depends what you use your PC for If its home use gaming email web surfing etc I'd keep the £100 in my pocket If you are running applications with lots of calculations, simulations etc it might be worth the extra but I doubt it
You would not physically see any difference between the two. for £100 its not worth it, did one last week for someone who did the same thing, exact same difference in chip size, and he asked if i was sure it was the right one i had installed. Spend the Extra on memory, either higher FSB or just MORE, that would make the difference, but no more than 3 gig unless your using a 64 bit copy of windows
In Fact If your system takes it use the difference to get a Quad core, now there you WILL see a difference, not in day to day use but give a quad core chip some REAL work to do and it will fly. Even a smaller sized chip. i dropped from a 2.6 duo to a 2.4 quad and its like sticking an overdrive on. Converts a 780 meg DivX into DVD in 23 minutes now. closer to 50 with the duo.
