Heh, finally something worth sharing. Yes I know lately there’ve been quite alot of Conroe reviews running around, but most of them focus on the high end X6800, which has a hard to swallow price point for most of us here. E6600 is a 2.4GHz dual core with shared 4MB L2 cache, also comes at a sweet price of around USD310 (should be around RM1300)for all that horsepower. 9X multiplier at only 266MHz FSB should provide room for overclocking too, the reviewer in the article manage to get the FSB up to 345MHz for 3.11GHz, and they didn’t even adjust the Vcore due to some problem, imagine what kind of screamer would this be if the problem was resolved. But there’s a bit of confusion in the beginning of the article:

We initally thought that 4MB L2 cache would be shared between the two cores on this CPU but the motherboard BIOS reported 8MB as total L2 cache which means 4MB per core.

IMHO, it’s due to the fact that it’s shared L2 cache, each core has access to full 4MB L2, hence the motherboard bios detected it wrongly. Anyway, just proceed to T-Break for the full article.
