Just a normal for now (E6600/E6700) and a XE when the price drops a bit. (and when multi is unlocked 4 sure)
In the UK their probaly gonna cost a lot, so i'll probaly go regular conroe,
anyone know any rough UK prices?
Myself? The normal one as well. I originally had the 1.6A, 1.8A, 2.4C etc so I am waiting for that middle of the road golden baby. :)
a normal one with 4mb
Don't have the money to buy a Conroe XE. I guess it will be the E6600 :) My thirth 2.4GHz CPU in a row :banana:
The first was my 2.4B Northwoord, second is my current CPU, an Athlon 64 3400+ Newcastle and the thirth will be my Conroe :D
I'm aiming for a XE :p
-k0nsl
+1. Thinking about E6700 for a start. XE later. ;)Quote:

I think the 6600 is the one for me, i hope it will boot up on 9x333 with a TT BigTyphoon and then clock it further from there. Anyway, i take the first Connie* i can get my hands on, availability will decide.
(*Conroe sounds too maskuline, and this cpu is a BABE, so Connie it is)
Like others E6700 to start, Big Poppa XE down the line.
I won't be able to afford an XE straight off the bat, so it looks like it's an E6600 for me. :)
E6700 for me :)
Hah funny, I always go one step above 2.0A, 2.66B, 2.6C, 3.0E, 3200+winny, 3500+venice, Opty 170Quote:

Thinking about regular E6600 or E6700 . XE is expensive ...
i am waiting fo K8L if that architecture isnt any good i am going intel :(
selling off my 2 kids for the XE..:D
E6700 for definite, although XE is tempting given I have a modded Vapo LS.....
XE for sure here
I'm going too have to wait and see what they all clock like before i can say which one i'll buy although i doubt i will afford an XE ever....
I'll probably get something like 5 6600 or 6700's and handpick the best one and sell the rest. That's what gives me most fun.
Conroe Regular.
XE tiny chance(probably buy a used one later on?). If Intel are employing an exclusive technology into the architecture only through the XE, slightly bigger chance(good for Intel, bad for low-mid budget builders). But decisions are based on what you can afford, and what you can get most out of that dollar.
E6900 when they get out
because i like round number,3.2g ;p
Agree, and there must be more to XE than just higher bus speed and unlocked multiplier if its going to be worth the XE price. In this other thread about the first XE's may not being 1333FSB and only 2.93G (266x11), some guys mentioned HT2. If HT2 is real it could be a great cpu, if not its just a 10% increase in clockspeed over the Connie 6700 (as it is out of the box), and the rest of the extra bucks is just for the unlocked multiplier. Theres gotta be more to the Connie XE than that! If 1066FSB and 2.93G is the reality for the first XE then i truly belive in HT2.Quote:
