    Celeron D > E6400

    I'm currently running a celeron D 360@3.6Ghz and have seen a Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13Ghz for 20 dollars, I was wondering how much of a difference i would see switching from a celeron to the E6400 in general windows task and gaming (I play older games, UT2004,Crysis 1 etc) Thanks.

    Hey,


    I checked out the CPU Support list, It does support the CPU and anything up to a QX6700 I believe but i can't afford anything more than the E6400.

    The e6300 crushes the P4EE 955/965 on most tasks.. and it's not even funny the way it does. Imagine what a E6400 would do to a celeron... A similar comparison here:

    Thank you for the link. Wow it really does destroy it and that's against the P4 3.6Ghz which i believe to be marginally faster than the celeron 3.6. I'm gonna defo pick the e6400 up. Thanks for the help.
