Users with Intel Core 2 Duo E6850

Hey ho

Im thinking of replacing my trusty old AMD 4400+ with the Intel Core 2 Duo E6850. Been a AMD fanboy for to long now :)

Anyone here got any experience with this one? People are saying that you get alot of bang for your buck.

Im gonna use a 8800GTX and 2 gigs of RAM with it. So of course im hoping to max out some of the upcoming heavytitles

O.O I am doing the exact same thing, but from a 4600+ with an ATI 2900XT and 2GB of RAM.ocelotcougar

Nice, the reviews are pretty good so i guesswe areon the safe side, but always good to get some feedback from joe average too.

It might do you good to wait a bit and see how the Phenoms are priced and what performance is there.kodex1717

Seeing as Barcelona has trouble beating Clovertown, I wouldn't hold your breath. AMD's situation is going to get worse when Penryn quads (Harpertown/Yorkfield) gets here.

I was thinking of either of getting the e6750 or e6850 aswell. Which one should i go with?

Is it hard to overclock aswell?

Thanks!

Get the 6600 best cpu I have ever owed cost is cheap oc's to 3.2GHz with retail heatsink does everything fast and should last a while. When you want more speed just slap a cheap peltier + water cooling hits 3.8GHz with reaper ocz memory for insane video encoding speed while also playing games.

I was a amd man but this cpu just crushes anything you can throw at it and laughs.

Overclocking hard? I have no idea how.MetallicA53

why get a gtx, unless you play at 1920x1200 or 1680x1050 I wouldn't really think its necessary. oh and the E6850 is definetely a good processor. filmography

I plan on getting a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 with 2GB of DDR2 ram.

Right now i have a very old computer! :P

Thanks for the help.

yea its a great card, and is faster than a Q6600 in game too and with the GTX you will eat up any game.yoyo462001

I'd go with the cheaper e6750; that's what I did and I don't regret it. :) Both CPUs are very overclockable though. And I'd rather spend that extra $100 on a better video card. Real-World wise, my E6750 is plenty fast enough for anything I throw at it, so I'd rather not spend the extra money on the e6850.
