processor question

[Spiffs]

hi,
I was going to get the E6750 2.66GHz intel processor for $205, but I was just wondering if it's really worth it to upgrade to the E6850 3GHz for $80 more?

:eek: is that how much more expensive it is?

No way, the E6750 is good enough, plus when your a bit more experienced you could overclock the E6750 to 3.0Ghz easy peasy with hardly any temp increase.

alright :) so I guess I'll still get the E6750 then, thanks for the response

If you are thinking of upgrading to the E6850, you might as well get the Q6600 - its about the same price. :)
