What is the next fastest intel chip that doesn't break the bank completely?????? Thanx. The E6700 @2.66GHz is about half the price of the 6800. The 6600 @2.4GHz is about $200 less that the 6700. I'm planning on getting a 6700 in the next couple of months, my metric is to look at the price performance of the total system. A 6700 is about 11% faster than a 6600 and a 6700 system in the configuration that I want it, 4G DDR2 800, 2 drives, cheap graphics, no OS, is about 2K vs 1.8K so 10% more for 10% more performance is justifiable.

The next step down is the Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 which runs at 2.66 GHz.

* Chingy:
[XEON DC 5160] Server cpu... Nope. Real "server cpus" are the XEON MPs (Multi Processor), the XEON 5160 is DP (Dual Processor) only and not only aimed at small servers but also at desktop workstations... Benjamin
