Well, for you maybe. Over here, Wiis cost the equivalent of $800 now due to a supply shortage!

I can get the E6750 for $189 delivered or the E6850 for $261 delivered. :) Is it worth the extra $72 for the E6850? Anyway........I know this is a lot when it comes to asking questions and maybe I need to narrow it down to something manageable but that's what you guys are for. lol.

btw I'll be one air NOT water for this so COOL parts is a must I think. :D

TIA.........

It depeds on what kind of OC you plan on. If it were me again back when new, $70. would be a deal and well worth it to bring that temp and vcore for my same 4GHz OC. Now if I had to keep it on my P35C-DS3R, then of corse since it has high vdroop and general system overcolting without clear report of in-use/workng voltage. For example, I like the 500x8 OC, but for my E6750, it needs to be 1.57v on my ASUS X38 and upto 1.62v descktop to drop to 1.57v loaded. The E6850 can reach 500x8 w/ less vcore to 1.52~1.54v so if on the Gigabytes w/ large vdroop, it only means 1.56~1.60v @ idle.

So as you can see, you have many options. If patient and have some money left after the holidays, then go for the E6750 for today and opt for a E8200 later in a few months or the E8190 naxt month for $163.00 and get the OC quality of the E6850 (and maybe more) on the new 45nm Penryn Wolfdale.

As the others say, good RAM is worth it since you can be better at a nice 1:1 with good tight tmings. DDR1000 4-4-4-9 feels as good as DDR1150 5-5-5-12, I'm using both. If you only judge on bench, t wll look better in numbers for the DDR1150 but real world for DDR1000 feels great and is stable too for mobos picky with ACPI function.

Good luck!

That was also true with the GA-P35-DS3R Rev. 1.0. That problem was addressed with the Rev. 2.0! the voltages all stay slightly above the correct voltages, and the vdroop is negligable, from Idle to full load, a mere .03v drop in CPU voltage. I guess that's why the Rev. 2.0 takes less voltage to get it stable than the Rev. 1.0!

sammorris,
How's the vdroop on your P35C-DS3R? How stable are your voltages?

In IE, select Tools--->Privacy--->Sites, then type in fastclick.com and select block. That should eliminate any cookies from that site.

That even speaks more for Kaspersky 6.0 then because I haven't ever had any click problems with the mouse, ever! All I run is Kaspersky and Zone Alarm, and I'm not too sure how much longer Zone Alarm is staying. I run Tuneup Utilities 2007's 1 click Maintenance once a day and follow it up with 1 click Fixer. The XP-Pro on this hard drive was installed last May and was used 15 hours a day on line, until a couple of weeks ago. It works fine so why do a fresh install! I have a separate drive that the MB was installed with That's got the fresh install of XP-Pro on it! All I had to when I swapped drives was install the drivers for the new MB. I'm going to use it for a while and see how it compares in disk performance since they're identical 160 Seagate Sata 3.0Gb/s drives anyway.

I seriously do not comprehend what this has to do with my post, and BTW, THAT WAS NOT MY POST, (ANOTHER SENIOR MOMENT ON YOUR BEHAVE)?, please explain?????

So I cannot question his response to me???

What do you guys feel about a Q6600 as long as it's G0 stepping for the same price as the E6850?? I think that I can pick either one of the cpu's up for about $225....They have some E6550's ($175) and E6420's ($160) as well. :D

As of today with only 2 weeks till better choices of quads, I'd say save your money for the Q9350 @ $266.00 or the Q9450 @ $316.00. But if you got a hole burning in your pocke like I do at times, then go for the E6550 for a all around fun OC'r on air to the same 500x7 the E6750 can do on air. Just to hold you over till next month. Just a thought.

I only say this cause I have the q6600 and it isn't all that of an overclocker if you like MHz especially and if not good mobo and chipset like the X38 or high end P35 with extreme tweaker BIOS and overvolting options to get it there. I have a buddy w/ the E5650 and it is cool on an X38 so I imagine not a big channalne on the P35/C-DS3R either. It was a nice CPUfor early this year to play with but I wouldn't buy one at this point in time considering.

Just "My Two Cents"

Hope it helps
