wait for the e8400 instead, totally worth it
Yes!
Yea, the E8400 has a larger cache (6MB rather than 4MB) and has a higher operating frequency than the E6750 but you're looking to fork over an additional $60. The E8400 also has a slightly lower maximum voltage which helps with heat, but I believe you actually sacrifice some performance with a lower voltage. It really depends on what you want the CPU for. The E6750 suffices for everything I do, including gaming
Only if you're trying to overclock them both to maximum safe levels, at stock, where I keep it, it's a bit faster.
I suppose I should say I have a 24" Acer P243w monitor 2 ms response, E8400 with Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Rev 2. with 1333 FSB, 4 GB (1x4) Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 timed at 4-4-4-12, 2x320GB WD SATA drives, HT Omega Claro HTPC sound card, Logitech Z-5500 Digital speakers @ 505 watts, a Radeon 3850 with 512 MB ram, G11 keyboard, MS laser mouse 6000, Antec Nine Hundred Case running Vista Ultimate x64.
