really you should read up on how to do manually OC. it's not really hard. the problem with the presets (at least on most boards i've seen) is they up the vcore more than necessary.

point made. thank you.
Multi-tasking only plays a part when you have got tonnes and tonnes of complex programmes running. The C2D's have shown that they can handle immense amounts of information being proccessed through it, I doubt you'd have enough programmes running to stop dead the E6850. So this part of your argument fails.
Next we have the multi-thread argument. Yes four is better than two, but how many games now and in the future are going to have four cores as something you must have to run a game? Whats that you're saying.....none? One core of each of the CPU's will be used much more than that of the others available (and this is putting it as simply as it can get) and obviously the one with the higher clock speed is better!
This all comes down to whether the OP wants to use video render software, Photoshop software etc. etc.
Now please be quiet.
Edit: And the fact that if you do buy a E6850 you need to have a P35, enables you to be truely futureproof. Seriously, most people on here read a few tech reports on other sites and think they know what they're talking about.....I find that quite pathetic.
future. applications are going to be a lot more multithreaded quite soon. and a lot of them will even be written to specifically take advantage of a quad core.White-Fusion wrote:

once again, my normal challenge: take two E6600's in two computers of the exact same specs, clock one at 3.0GHz and one at 3.4GHz, and tell me if you can honestly see a difference (besides in CPU-Z where it says "3400MHz"). no. i highly doubt you could.buLLet_t00th wrote:

I think he means that 3Ghz is not really overclocking to the max 3.4-3.8 would be more like it. The 2 processors both have advantages over each other and I would expect the e6850 to overclock better that the Q6600 for most people because of the extra heat of the quad core.
its not that hard to max out BF2. as ive said before, i can max it out on my mom's dell, and it has an X1300PRO 256MB. needless to say, thats a terrible card for gaming, and my 6800GS can run circles around it.theknuck wrote:
not the fastest computer in this forum but what only matters if your happy with it. its a shame some people aren't able to play this game fully maxed even though it's been out for over 2 years. maxing this game out with fast load times makes it a completly different game huh?
ohh shut up. its basically two E6600's glued together. of course it wont overclock AS WELL as the E6600 because of heat issues, but still, a lot of people accept 3GHz and dont bother going past that. 3GHz is incredibly fast. and a 3GHz quad core... well. thats just the shit.buLLet_t00th wrote:
Thats not really OC'n like a bitch now is it?mafropetee wrote:
i think i do. i know lots of people with it who have gotten it up to 3GHz on stock cooling. thats higher than the QX6800 stock.buLLet_t00th wrote:

The normal E6600 gets to 3.4 - 3.5 easily. Not really the same is it?

trust me, ive tried. i gain no weight at all no matter how much i shove into my mouth per second. stupid metabolism.
I doubt that drinking a drink loaded with sugars and caffeine is going to make you fat when you grow up. If you drink it everyday, 5 times a day, nonstop... That's a problem.

A - I was kidding. We all have our own preferences when it comes to keyboards. I had a Saitek one (It lit up blue ^.^) but my little brother dropped a cup of coffee on it. So now I'm back to this one
B - Download some of their newer stuff, from the album Puzzle, I recommend "Living is a problem because everything dies". Biffy are Scottish by the way, which is part of the reason I like them so much. Yeah, I am talking about Bullet For My Valentine, I've heard Atreyu and they're a tad on the heavy side. Hense the Biffy.
C - I game. Lots. And listen to music. Lots. So office crap is not for me.
D - I Bought my computer a while ago... So yeah I know CRTs are dead, but I can't afford a new computer ^.^

C - You buy a computer so you can use it, not so you can buy a whole new lot of parts for it.
D - Their CRTs suck. Can never get the settings right. Always have some black at the edge of your screen.

well it is different for different people. some really do learn better with personal lessons where a good player sits there with you and shows you, and some learn better on their own, taking in everything at their own pace. but most people i know who have had lessons improve a lot faster than most that i know who havent had lessons.Drax wrote:
