939 Socket / DDR2 motherboard exists?

the E2160/80 and such are newer processors. The E6400/E6300/E6600 and such were the first core2duos to be released. The E6x50/E6x00 and such can hit above 3.0. Like ~4.0. depending how 'good' of a chip you have and how cool everything is. Also the E21xx have like a 1mb cache size and yes , cache does matter, most of the time for the most part
blahhh

The cache helps on applications that benefit from quicker memory access, but only by a small margin. I would estimate the delta between 1mb of and 2mb is something between 3%~5% and then 6%~10% for the 4mb. These estimates may be a little rough, but a 3.3Ghz E21x0 should run on par with a 3Ghz E6xx0.

I got my E6400 last Christmas, when it was the second cheapest C2D available at $200, and still one of the best price/performance parts around. If I were building this now, I'd probably opt for an E2160 or E4x00 part.

The reason to buy a higher end E6750 is because it can achieve higher clocks than the E2160 and has more cache, but the performance difference over the E2160 doesn't warrant the additional costs in most people's budget. E2160 is killer.

And as for the 4-pin connector thing, I was referring to the long, white plug that plugs into the motherboard. Hopefully you'll see a 4-pin add-on that can clip onto the side.

I think I get what you mean about the 4 pin connector. It goes into a square which has 4 squares inside. It's white, it's near the cpu. Is this it?

You seem to really know what you are saying, and I think I'm convinced about buying an E2160. I hope you are right about the L2 caches.

I'm really tired of researching, let's just choose me a motherboard and ram for E2160 and be done with it. The ones Wolfshadw suggested isnt found on the site I'm going to buy.

Can we choose a motherboard for me here? It needs to be cheap and help me reach 3.0 with the e2160.

Also, what choice do I have besides getting 8800GT? It's a bit out of my range.

Should I buy the rams in 667 speed or 800? Here's the rams page:

I'm sorry I took a lot of your time. It'll be over soon.
