| Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 vs E8600: The battle of the caches!

| Well, as a gamer i'd prefer the 5 extra frames but the price of the E8600 is nearly double that of E7400. I think I'll keep my E6750 (Oc 24/7 to 3.2GHz) until I switch to the i7. |

| The E7000 series are amazing for the price. I'd much rather go for one of those since all I do is game and some benching. I would though rule out the E7200/E7300, because after 4.1GHz it takes a lot of Vcore to get anything higher than that. Regards Damian |

| What was the video card used in this review and how ****en amateurish are you clowns for not mentioning it in the review itself, thus necessitating that I waste my time to register here to ask. |

| Look at this phrase : Some Game benchmarks I swapped the 9800GTX for a GTX 285 to avoid having a GPU bottleneck so only the game benchmarks are done with the 285, 3dmarks and co with the 9800GTX (285 was not available from the start of the test) Kind regards from the Amateurish Clown Last edited by leeghoofd : 16th March 2009 at 05:41. |
