E4300 vs E6300 overclocked
The 6300@3.5Ghz is essentially on par with the 4300@3.47GHz, despite the much higher FSB and memory performance.
Just get me right, i don't want to start a flame war between E6xxx and E4xxx guys, but i for myself have finally settled on buying an E4300 with cheaper memory for total savings of about 110$ here in Germany. The saved chash goes right into an 1950XT->8800GTS upgrade which makes the new rig even more powerful.
E6300 might be faster up to 5% or not, my decision is clear, but may everybody get happy his/her way Both systems would be incredibly fast.
