Allendale is manufactured with 2MB cache. Conroe cores with the 2MB cache really have 4MB cache with 2MB disabled.

[Cabbs]

Not sure if you want to, because Newegg has E6750's for less than $200.

[Cabbs]

That could be a problem...

 

[borat_sagdiyev]

yea, i decided to just overclock my e4500 to 3ghz

Have fun with that! I can't get to 3Ghz now because the new bios I updated to is garbage. I gotta switch back to an older bios now.
