Can somebody tell me if this cpu upgrade is worth the money? I have an E4600 dual core running at 2.4ghz (2M L2 Cache, 2.40 GHz, 800 MHz FSB). I was looking at upgrading to the E6700 2.66ghz (4M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB). Is the extra cache and small ghz increase worth it for $50.00. Does the different front side bus speed matter? thanks, I was wanting a bit more performance in games with my new video card, a gtx 460, until I buy a whole new pc. Would this show me any improvement in gaming or should I just wait until I build a new pc. Thx

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

If you have a Microcenter nearby, and you can afford it, just do a straight upgrade to a 2500k platform for ~$300. It'll literally be a night and day performance difference.
thx, will look into this.
