nope kung ang quad core 2.4ghz. fixed nana cya d nana mo mulitply.
if you do. ull have 9.6ghZ.

yup.. all of them are supported. basta Socket 775 w/ FSB of 800/1066/1333.

so... core 2 duo 2.66 is greater than core 2 quad 2.4

[ninzska21]

ok heres the comparison of both.

Intel Core 2 Duo E7300
Wolfdale
2.66GHz
3MB L2 Cache
1066MHz FSB
LGA 775 Dual-Core Processor

--------------------

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Kentsfield
2.4GHz
2 x 4MB L2 Cache
1066MHz FSB
LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor

i know what your gonna ask next.

so you better click this and read it.

quadcore simply means that u have 4 cores all running @ 2.4GHz sharing 8mb of L2 cache...

thx sa inyong tips

[ninzska21]

NP. GL sa imo system

and take care of it. heheh

[carmicael]

don't get the quad-cores if you don't need two more cores. for most of today's games, a high-clocked dual core is best, i suggest Intel's E8X00 series. another option is to get a moderate-clocked dual core, say, Intel's E7X00 series, and spend extra cash on GPU's. you can always OC, if you're up to it.

cheers.

Q6600 ...bro

[fredrich64]

ha?

@follow up question, ang core 2 quad ghz 2.4 multiplied by four?
so u mean 2.4 x 4?

i guess intel MOBO has CF ready nah. rather than SLI ready.

individual tasks each cores bro, so u cant multiply it. example, if one core(cpu) is already busy running photoshop then the other core will handle your coreldraw, both cores running at 2.4 simultaneously..
