One core will always take most of the load, so speed of individual cores is IMO more important then more then 2 cores.
If you're looking to upgrade, E8400 or E8500 is a good choice (1333MHZ FSB though). Probably will be my next purchase when I move on from my E6750.  |
Thanks but that high FSB speed will be useless since my memory is tagged at 800MHz. wouldn't that be a waste of money?
Yea since many application relies on a single core, it pays to have a high speed/clocked core.
I'm thinking to upgrade to
E4700 Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz with 800MHz FSB which is matched to my memory?
Or should I just abandon the idea of matching my parts and go for say E7400 Core 2 duo 2.8GHz with 1066FSB?
The price difference is not that much. . .
