The Inquirer has become so Intel biased it's practically the internal Intel newsletter. I'm just waiting for the articles on employee fitness, the engineer winning the triathlon, and the successful food drive at plant 54. Those articles might be more interesting.

"like to see some E7200 vs. 8600 numbers, Rob, if you please"

Interesting to see the E7200 using a 1066 MHz FSB. 
I thought Intel was done with that.
Oh well I have a Gigabyte 945GM-S2 mobo. collecting dust..this processor seems to be the perfect match.

Currently I run X2 3600+ oc'd to 2.5 GHz all on stock cooling with a 690G mobo.

Oh well I hate to jump ship to Intel lol.

But this processor on stock will destory even the Phenoms in Encoding/Gaming!

Maybe Intel will throw in an E7400 or E7500 in the mix with a 1066MHz FSB that would be gold.

Talk about getting performance out of old parts (mobo.) Jeez I never thought that would happen! lol
