Intel E6750 Processor

[Abhas]

I am in the lookout for a new computer (not intended for gaming), and Intel's E6750 caught my eye...

I had a few questions

1. Is it available in India
2. Actual Market Price
3. Difference between itself and E6700

I do not plan to overclock it, and it is going to be used for Graphic designing stuff (Photoshop, corel etc, with heavy image files to work with).

Since I am looking for a new computer, could someone recommend me a good configuration, keeping in mind my requirements??

I am planning to go in for :
17 inch LCD display,
2 gb ram
250 - 300 gb HDD (or whatever's available)
DVD writer
500 watt PSU (is it enough??)

I don't plan to buy a graphics card, as the integrated solution should serve my purpose.

Please suggest me the prices, and the companies which offer good value for money for these products....

Thanks!!

I would advise you go in for an Intel E6550 with an Intel G33 motherboard combo, this combo lurks around nehru place around 12000 i think. The processor should be more than enough for your needs, plus its a pretty good overclocker if you need anything in future.

what's the clock speed, cache and FSB of the E6550??

I suggest go for AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 6000+ its a 3.0 Ghz Dual-Core that too only at Rs 13,500.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

I think its 2.4 or 2.13, 1333 mhz fsb, and 4 mb l2 cache. Its perfectly overclockable to E6750 levels i think.,

yep go for the AMD chips there cheaper :hpraise

You're joking mate. The E6550 and a G33 motherboard combo can be bought for as low as 11,999 or even lesser.

 

[Abhas]

ya, this sounds really good... tell me more about it

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Lol. What to tell more. Just go to Nehru place and get it



P.S - what happened to the web designing.?

 

[Abhas]

i guess that'll have to wait for some time now... too busy with some other stuff right now.

I'll try to go Nehru Place next week, and will buy the computer after 2nd week of oct...

What Ram is the Best??

 

[travder92]

you mean how much? is this for vista or XP? for XP 2GB will be moer then enough
for vista 2GB should do quite nicely, but 3GB would be optimal but not a necessity.

Kingston ram i have found is pretty good. its what i use and it does the job fine

 

[Abhas]

i meant to ask what type of ram (ddr 667 etc) i have absolutely no clue as to what they are, and which has the best performance...

 

[travder92]

DDR2 667 is pretty much the best/default one at the moment.......

go here and scroll down to the "chips and modules" section too see the different speeds etc.

If you're going in for the E6550, it has 1333 mhz FSB.
therefore, total theorotical bandwidth = 1333*4 = 5332 Mbps.
And, if you use a single stick of 667 mhz,
Theorotical bandwidth = 667*8 = 5336 Mbps.

Assuming you need double the bandwidth of the processor(due to latencies involved), you'll need atleast 1334mhz Ram An easy way to do it is get 2 sticks of 667 mhz in dual channel mode.

Gosh, The bottomline - 667 mhz ram should be best for you, but only in dual channel mode.

 

[Abhas]

ok, understood... so i can have 2 sticks of 1 gb ram, and install them in dual channel, to maximize the performance of my system!!

PS : But what exactly is dual channel mode?? is it a type of RAM or is it a motherboard related feature???
