Here are the results of the tests I ran on the E6600 CPU at both stock and 50% overclock.
The tests were run with the following setup on the PC.
The system was running Windows XP Professional SP2 with all latest patches and updates applied.
At both 2.4GHz (stock speed) and 3.6GHz (50% overclock speed) the DDR2 memory was set to DDR800.
The film (The Terminal) was ripped from DVD to a separate partition on the HDD and the encoding was performed from that HDD file and stored back to the same HDD in a separate folder.
Before each test, the HDD partitions were defragmented, all non essential applications were closed and the memory was optimized.
Nero was set as follows:
Video preview ? Enabled
Advanced Analysis ? Enabled
High Quality Mode ? Enabled
High Priority Set.
The film compression ratio resulted in a quality output of 80.9% after encoding.
I also ran the same film through Windows XP Professional 64 Bit Edition SP1, but obviously Nero Recode, although capable of working on the 64 Bit operating system, was not capable of utilizing it, and the results were exactly as found using the 32 Bit operating system.
Stock Speed 2.4GHz
Advanced Analysis Time: 3Min 28 Sec
Encoding Time: 6 Min 45 Sec
Copying file to directory: 3 Min 39 Sec
Total processing time 13Min 52 Sec
(Of which) Total CPU related processing time: 10 Min 13 Sec
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/8987/nerorecode24x32uc3.jpg
Over Clocked Speed of 3.6GHz
Advanced Analysis Time: 2Min 20 Sec (- 1 Min 8 Sec) (67.3%) (32.7% faster)
Encoding Time: 4 Min 38 Sec (- 2 Min 7 Sec) (68.6%) (31.4% Faster)
Copying file to directory: 2 Min 59 Sec (- 40 Sec) (81.7%) (18.3% Faster)
Total processing time 9Min 57 Sec (- 13 Min 55 Sec) (71.7%) (28.3% Faster)
(Of which) CPU specific time: 6 Min 58 Sec (- 3 Min 15 Sec) (68.2%) (31.8% Faster)

And because I never had a valid reason to show a screen shoot of my 64 Bit desktop, I have posted this quick capture (just for the hell of it) ENJOY!!!

I never managed to get DVD RB working correctly on the 64 Bit operating system, as it failed to load either CCE or Procoder when required.

i changed the pics to links as pics were throwing page margins out, plus we'd end up having loads of people posting girly pics posted. Not sure if the 'Intel vs AMD' geeks could cope with all the flesh anyhoo

well Intel C2D owns every other cpu's they r the fastest so far...i was thinking who ever designed this/these cpu must be very rich...like 1 million dollar a month...E6600 is a very good cpu...and its relatively cheap...

Not too sure what you are doing but you have to change the "IMG" to "img" at each end of the URL for it to work. Same thing with the older ImageShack set-up except you have to strip out everything in front of the front "img" and everything after the end "img" with the img being in between 2 brackets. For some reason every once in a while it changes from one to the other. It took me forever to understand that as you can't demonstrate as a post! If you go back to your post and change what Creaky did so that whats on the screen now has a bracket img bracket on each end of the URL, it would work and display your screen shots, rather than having to open them. Doing that should also take care of the proper size as well!
Happy Computering,
theone

i used a ':P' in my other comment. but i can't guarantee to keep smiling. it's really not fine. let's get the thread back on track thanks...
edit- i'm simply trying to stop other posters abusing the thread ie some of our younger members might then think it's ok to post pics of girls.
i wasn't having a go at BigDK who was genuinely figuring out how to post pics..

not based on any facts, this is just my opinion.
i think that they dont want to appear to have given up on the bleeding edge of performance, which intel so clearly owns now. add the fact that they still need to pay for ati and they are struggling to make enough chips to fill demand.
if nobody pays for them the price will drop, it has to, but it seems that sombody somewhere still is, so it hasn't.

Prices on FX series will always be high just as it is for Intel X CPU's
Not only are you normally getting the fastest in the series but also get the unlocked multipliers, which are not available on the cheaper models.
As far as price goes they are almost being given away compared to 6-8 months ago (before Core 2 hit the scene).

Up and running. Started memcheck at 2:30 this morning and the two 1GB sticks of Crucial Ballistix are just great. No errors. No install problems on any parts.
The X2 4400+ at stock feels much zippier. I have it OC'd at 2.4GHz right now and 2.6 will be tonight when I have time to slowly and properly overclock it. It has a noticably larger amount of muscle. Not to say my 3800+ was slower... just not as beefy.
And with advice from theonejrs I have invested in an Arctic Freezer 64 Pro for $30. No heat problems. Idles at 35*C and load at about 50*C. It's still a mild OC so I expect it to hit about 53-55*C at 2.6GHz.
The M2N-Sli is a very feature rich motherboard and is much nicer than my A8N-E was. It has no FSB problems and 218FSB was easily reached for now. With HTT at 5 my RAM has no problems so far. I'll update again when I get it up to 2.6.

A freezer 64 pro, good call. Fantastic coolers, can't go wrong. Didn't even realise you could still get 4400s, must be just the UK they're getting rid of them all...

Yeah and then some. My Zalman 7000 is quiet on low voltage, but I know the freezer is a hell of a lot quieter still. Now if only I could get a quiet GPU and power supply. Those two components may well be under review with R600's launch in Spring...
