I think I would go for E4000 series cos is under RM400. E6550 is bout RM550. I do not need that processing power. E2000 series is under RM300 while Celeron duo is only RM150 ...

Chai just did a lot of optimization work. The forums should work a LOT faster now. Seems okay over here BTW.

Hmm.. E4000 should be okay. The Celeron Dual-Core is cheap but the lack of L2 cache really slows things down. Then again, you can always overclock!

I agree with Adrian in his above post. The E6550 I got on sale for around 140CAD here it sat in the box for 3 months before I had the rest of the stuff lol. I picked it up because of the 4M L2 cache and the 1333fsb. The E4xxx series should work well all the C2D's O/C like a bandit lol.

EDIT: On the forum Chai worked hours last night on optimizations seems to be much better now and I think we all owe him a beer

We have just updated the comparison guide with the results from the Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 processor!

Specifications are all well and great, but can you really tell how much faster is one processor from another? Both Intel and AMD are trying to do just that with their model numbering scheme. But with over 30 SKUs, the Intel Core 2 family of processors has become a confusing bunch of numbers.

We begin a performance comparison project for the Intel Core 2 family of processors where we test and compare the Intel Core 2 processors' performance in five different benchmarks. It will show you exactly where a higher clock speed would be more advantageous and where the number of processing cores is far more important, as well as situations where the processor itself won't really matter much.

In this article, we will compare the performance of 18 Intel Core 2 processors in five benchmarks - three game-based benchmarks and two application benchmarks. We hope to add on more and more results as we get hold of additional Core 2 processors over time. Let's take a look at the Core 2 processors we have rounded up for this comparison.

Always a nice reference

E4xxx OC really easily because of their multiplier. E7200 is awesome for the price and its multiplier of 9.5x is only matched by the excrutiatingly more expensive E8500.
