Here's something maybe someone here might have an idea about.

k... now these new Core 2 Duos... the E6300 = 1.86GHz for example.  Is anyone here watching HiDef video on their systems with one of these C2D chips?  1080i or 1080p?  I know it's wrong to think 1.86 + 1.86 = 3.72GHz but with the improved architecture of these C2D chips over the P4s in addition to higher FSB bandwidths maybe it's almost like that?  Or I could just wait until Adobe updates their system requirements to include multicore and 64bit processors :/  So much info to piece together - seems like it was a little simpler a few years ago.

One more thing:

Nice little database/chart of all the systems being overclocked at that forum, including BIOS settings, RAM brands and mobo models - could use it as a guide to putting together something that will overclock nicely :)

Cheap Thrills: Core 2 Duo E6400 Overclocked to 3.33 GHz

$220 for the 6400 around here... 2.13GHz stock
Good read, some info about mobo limitations on the FSB
[quote:a6597f928e]those who can settle for just a little less performance will find ultimate value using the E6400 with Intel's retail-boxed cooler at a modest 3.1 GHz heat-imposed limit.[/quote:a6597f928e]
