I'm running a Core 2 Duo dual core E6300 overclocked from 1.86 to 2.9GHz
with 2GB DDR2 memory running at 830MHz with 4-4-4-2T timing and on the
latest Everest (3.800.945) benchmarks it runs faster than any of the dual
core versions not overclocked and some 50% slower than the quad cores
listed. And I only paid $185 vs $1100+ for the QX6700, in fact all the
components for my new Vista rig including case /w 500w power supply cost
$1150, you do the math. ;-)
