e8400 VS e8500

whats the difference between the two expect 3.16 GHz on the E8500 and the 3.0GHz on the E8400

i see a 20 dollar difference between the two on newegg but if you overclock your E8400 you can make it better then the E8500

i guess the only difference is you get that extra 1.5GHz when you OC?

I think the e8500 has a higher multiplier for OC'ing, but I'm not sure. Either way, you can't go wrong with the 8400 whatsoever.

there both the same you can choose 6 7.5 or 9 thats what i really dont understand i guess its just that 1.5GHz cushin?

well its only a 20$ difference so i guess not overclocking = better but if you do which 60% of people know how now and more and more are learning it gives you a 1.5GHz increase in overclocking lol.

either way can they run Crysis and Crysis Warhead ?Dublinkelt

Of course.
