Cool that 4800 sounds like a beast, the one downside is you have to change your sweet sig :lick:

4800 = Sexy CPU

Enjoy the new hardware and you better get folding!!

When winter rolls around and the temps drop I will get back into it, my room just gets so hot as it is I dont like to do it during the summer months.

Hehe, yeah I do need to change it... speaking of which I hope I can still find the source for it. :-\ It might be time for a change anyways.

Newegg now has the E6600 and E6700 listed. Both are out of stock/auto-notify.

E6600 = $419.00 (supposed to be $316.00 according to MSRP sheets from Intel).

E6700 = $699.00 (supposed to be $530.00 according to MSRP sheets from Intel).

It's cheaper elsewhere on the net.

For some reason, Newegg is gouging a coupla the new procs.

I starded an upgrade last week and got an AMD 64 X2 4600 AM2. Stepping up from my Athlon XP 2000. But still waiting for my new video card to arrive so I'm using an old Voodoo3 2000 temporaraly. Now I need to see about installing some software on it.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700.

It's a noticable step up from the athlon 64 3500+

Re: Dual Core Processor Club

Welcome to the club. The E6700 is the best processor I have ever used.

Add my desktop to the list now too.
Sold my 4000+ Clawhammer and got a dual-core Opteron 165 in its place. Currently running at 2.6GHz, and ready to push higher!

Re: Dual Core Processor Club

heh I just need to buy a core 2 quadro and I have a 4 processor PC in a single socket probably spring for the new nvidia stuff first though as those will give me the biggest gains.

Re: Dual Core Processor Club

I guess I'm an honarary member now. They upgraded my PC at work to Dual Core 3.4G Pentium D. I am rather amased at how fast secondary applications slp up on the screen even when multitasking. The 2 gig of ram doesn hurt And the on board vidoe was a pleasant performance surpise. This must be a Vista ready machine. Load time off of disk is surprisingly faster. I'm going to have to study everything on this machine and see where it got it's edge from.

Considering it's not that far from my home machine AMD64 XP2800 w/1 GB RAM, but with an x800xl vid card, it is much more responsive. Exact same hard drive, same OS and Office suite.
