BF2S Forums What would you prefer an E6850 or a Q6600?

I think this thread shows why Leet came up with the idea of 'Tech people'.

lmao

Its becasue of you and your fucking lame knowledge.

Does it make you sad that somebody knows something that you don't? Are you going to go cry to your mummy?

Kids on the internet!

How hard to overclock?

Its easy to OC. You can get an easy high OC on the E6850, but harder to do it on the Quad without decent cooling.

mature response, well done there

i've just read one review online so my knowledge is now on a par with bullet tooth

E6850 is the better option for gaming

Could you explain why then?

so wait, sli doesnt work with the p35?

Roger. P35, and a E6850. Should I overclock the 6850?

Sure, but 3GHZ not enough for you like ?

Martyn

so whats the best motherboard if im gonna get either the q6600 or e6850 and i might want sli in the future. i will play crysis when it comes out, if its good, and i play bf2 right now. i mainly just game and surf the internet so keep that in mind.

At the end of the day you can't future proof anything you buy the best you can afford that is available now. There are always new processors, boards, memory and graphics cards on the horizon. So most of this thread is a waste of space

Holy crap, I'm no tech expert, but all this (near)flaming is pretty ridiculous.

1. Regarding the E6850 and the Q6600, they're both the same price/relatively similar price, so I don't understand why it's stupid to get the Q6600 if it's got more multitasking potential. Just because they play only games? Who knows, maybe they'll want to make a video of themselves playing or something. Or other processor heavy tasks. Plus, having clock speeds over 3Ghz is pretty much just another way of increasing your e-peen for normal users right? (Then again, this is coming from a guy that barely ever upgrades. Only makes major changes due to lack of funding. )

2. I thought there was no such thing as futureproof, or am I wrong? Yet all these arguments talk about futureproofing, anyone care to elaborate please?

3. Making mistakes is a part of learning. But you need to have an good attitude about it to get anything out of making mistakes. So, for the ones here that say STFU or GTFO (exaggerations, don't worry) due to advice you think is somewhat bad, calm down. And for the ones that keep laughing off other advice/viewpoints, maybe try listening to some of that advice for future reference or something, don't just keep making flamebait.

Anyway, last time I checked newegg didn't have the E6850, so that kind of narrows down your choice. (Unless you found some other place that has the E6850 in stock)

(As this is obviously aimed at me) What you're saying here is totally true. When I talked about futureproof, its in relation to the Mobo, getting a P35 over a 680i is in his interest as one will work with the upcoming 45nm CPU's and one wont.

For what he wants to do, the E6850 is better at it than the Q6600 so in my opinion (and thats all it is) I'd get that over the Quad.

I wouldn't be suprised if tommorrow or in the coming weeks the E6850 will be available in the US.

So I don't hold anything against you, I just found it annoying and not very helpful that people (mong00se) shoot their mouthes off about stuff they have no interest in, let alone any knowlege!

Edit: Anyway....I'm off to bed because I've got a shit early start at work tommorrow. Peace!

I'd be lying if I said some of the references weren't made towards you, but part of it goes to mong00se and a few others. (Sorry if you thought I was blaming you for something) I know a fair amount of stuff regarding tech (mostly monkey see, monkey do-esque), but probably not enough. I don't mind seeing that one person strongly believes in something but when people start flinging poo at each other, it does get somewhat annoying, because pretty soon the whole thread becomes an "you're an idiot" type thing and I don't get anything out of it.

I can see where the E6850 arguments are coming from so I honestly am not sure, but using my spectacular caveman logic (4>2 dhurrr), I'd think the Q6600 was better overall.
