Is the 4mb cache worth waiting 2 more months on?
Will it be a noticeable difference? in what situition?
thanks

If you don't have an Emergency or can afford to wait for 2 Months then you absolutely should, about 5% more performance Clock on Clock comparison in all applications, and if you overclock to 2.4Ghz (And Beyond) you'll find it's actually a E6600 Underclocked.

Shows up to 10%, but if seen overall only about 5% average real-world(3.5% is a little understating)

Thanks Man. No, not in a rush, but have to commit sometime though.
I've had a wishlist on newegg a year! lol

Looking forward to gaming better, slaying more.

Whens the release again? April 1st?
