E6300 Overclocking Question

Just curious has anyone overclocked the E6300 or E6400 to match the mhz speed of the E6600. Afterward, do a benchmark between the overclocked E6300 and/or E6400 against the E6600 at the same speed.

I am curious to know how much speed differences will the 2MB vs 4MB cache will be....

Speed for speed there is little difference. The higher FSB makes up for the 'small' cache.

If you take a 6600+ and just lower the multiplier to the 6300 level, the difference is an average of 3.5% (as the graph illustrates). However, if you're overclocking a 6300 up to a 6600 level, you'll have a faster FSB which should help offset MOST of that 3% difference. It will depend on the application, apps that go to main memory more, may favor the OC'd 6300 b/c of the faster FSB. Where an application which has a dataset >2Mb but <4Mb might be really fast on the 6600.
