What are your impressions of the Conroe processor?

Roedkjaer · 2006-09-15, 11:34

Well..... Heard so much about it before i bought one my self..... And finally i decided to get the E6300 instead of the E6600 because of two reasons.. First of all it would save me about 150$ but secondly i read the the overclocking potential was amazing.

So when i recieved it yesterday i startet out by making it the same speed as the E6600. Didn't change anything except for locking PCI and Pci express on 33 and 100 repectively - Ram on Auto giving 1:1. Then I set the FSB on 344 and thought, I wonder if this will work without any change in vcore to cpu or ram.... I saved bios and and it just started...Wee, I'm already pleased..!
There is obviously great potential for overclocking here.... I havent played any more for now, since i wanted to get media portal up'n running...

So i now have a cpu operating at the same speed as the E6600 for a percentage of the price

However, the E6600 has 4mb cache against the E6300 2mb.... But through reading different tests, the extra 2mb does not give that much of a difference....

I can deffinately reccomend this CPU....

They are very impressive sounding processors. After reading that you had one I googled once again and then did a comparison of my workstation's processor (Pentium D830) and the E6300. SuperPI finishes an incredible 2 minutes quicker on the Core 2 Duo running @ 1.8GHz - :O.

Lol my colleague has just informed me that his Core 2 Duo laptop has arrived, I'm so envious now

Hehe... I can imagine, a laptop with core2duo nice

The cool thing about this processor is the price..... Intel finally get the edge - For now
