T7200 Conroe?
Hmm a 2ghz chip spankin the FX62, surely that chip aint even £200

Good review (from reading the benchmark pictures). It appears the difference between CPUs with 2MB cache and 4MB cache isn't that much even in games.
The 2MB E6300 overclock to 2.4 GHz makes a huge difference bringing it almost in line with the 4MB E6600 (stock at 2.4 GHz) in some benchmarks and not that far behind in some of the game benchmarks.

Im still unsure whether to go for the E6400 or E6600.

Excellent performance. My oh my, this is mega!! I'm very very keen on getting an E6300 now - bargain mega performance!!! What memory was it run with btw, though? 800mhz or 667Mhz? How much might that affect performance?

Shame there's no E6400 there, as it's the one I have been looking at, but it looks like the E6300 almost matches the FX-60 and FX-62 anyway from where I am sitting.
Would be a spankathon with an overclock, lol.I agree! The site says they used DDR2-553 for the tests and DDR-667 for overclocking tests.=assassin= said:

Hmm, things can keep even lower in budget if it performs that well then - some cheap 667Mhz RAM might not be so bad afterall...

I have just noticed something thats got me very worried. On the dfi board the power supply connectors there, there is a block that uses 8 pins from the psu.
My psu is an older sparkle 400watt and it has the normal atx connector and a 4 pin connector. Does this mean I need a psu too?

Just to you know mate, im sure the T7200 is a Yonah, not a Conroe.

The other Conroe ready boards seem to only require a standard 4 pin connector?
