Mainboard FSB, help.

HELPMEPLZ · 09-15-2007, 07:04 PM

Hi,

I'm thinking of upgrading to a Intel Core2Duo E6600 or even a 6750 if FSB permits, i'm currently using a Intel Celeron D Dual Core 3.4MHz.

A couple of questions,

#1: Would this upgrade be worth the money? (Mainly for gaming)

and secondly, i noticed on the 6750 descriptions it has a 1333MHz mainboard required FSB, and the 6600's a 1033MHz FSB required. Now i'm no whiz so i need some help finding out what my mainboards FSB is, and if these CPU's will work on it if it's not that high + the downsides/upsides to it.

Intel&reg Desktop Board DP965LT Overview is my motherboard.

I noticed just then within that description it says

"
Support for an Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor in an LGA775 socket with a 1066 or 800 MHz system bus
"

Does that mean i can use the 6600 but not the 6750's as the FSB is to high? or am i looking at the wrong thing? or?

Any help appreciated ASAP ^_^

definitely.. ur moving from low-end single core to a dual-core (high end) get the e6750 but first flash your BIOS first...

my cpu is dual core, pentium D is dual core :-/

And my motherboard description doesn't say it supports the Core 2 Duo 1333MHz, can i still use the 6750?

nope.. get an e6420 or e6320 instead then...

you can get the e6700 though

is the upgrade from a 3.40ghz pentium d dual core to a core2duo e6320 1.8ghz dual core even noticable? i've been worried cause i understand it's not all clock speed now and the 2.13GHz core2duos outperform 3.4+ dual cores, but going from 3.4 to 1.8 - isn't that a big drop?

the newer architecture, enables more things done per clock, and the e6320 can OC to 3.0 ghz easily

clock speed days are gone... yes the Pentium D is outperformed heavily by the Core 2 Duo... lets find some benchies..

here.. a really demanding game.. at a really high resolution.... and look at the Pentium D EE clocked at 3.73ghz getting whooped by a Core 2 Duo at 2.4 ghz... the new architecture makes it run cooler and faster

that....is a 1 year+ old benchmark, the e6320 would probably be getting 70+ , when OC'ing to 3.0

well duh.... i can't find a recent benchmark with the Pentium D and AMD ones on it too... even tho its old... it still has reliable info... but its more like 80fps on an oc'ed e6320
