are you kidding me? For that price you could build a duallie Xeon rig or opteron rig.

For that much, i would wait to buy me a dual dual core Xeon in '06. $1100 is alot for a processor

I read a review that clearly showed 1066FSB isn't doing anything for this CPU compared to a 3.4EE 800FSB. And this has 2MB L3, but 2MB L2 and 1066FSB is going to be standard for regular P4's soon, so...

i have a 3.0 P4 @ 4.00 running a 1069 FSB - $160 processor gets me what a P4EE would, plus a higher clock speed

not worth it - the most cash i'll shell out will be for a 360J

thats because the 2 MB of L3 cache speeds up access to ram..and initial benchmarks of the 6xx Pentium 4 is somewhat depressing

This is what i wanted to know. I have someone who wants to build using it, if there is no diffrence between one with 1066 or 800 why not just go with the 800FSB.

wait for dual core. Imo its going to be alot faster then standard processors.

No offense, but dual core chips will initially be slower than single-core processors for quite some time. This not only applies to Intel, but AMD as well. More importantly, dual core processors will require that applications/games/etc be coded to take advantage of a multi-threaded design. Therefore, it will be even longer before we see dual core processors in the hand of the average enthusiast. So your best bet is to upgrade to a single-core design. And for the record, the P4EE is overpriced and offers little of a performance incentive compared to an Athlon 64 or P4 3.2-3.4 LGA 755. Your best bet is to stick with those.

Actually the 3.46 EE is based on the Gallatin core, which is essentially a Northwood with more cache. It runs no hotter than a Northwood, which isn't hot at all.

its a better Xeon. It was based on the Galitan core or the Xeon MP which currently only has a 400 MHz shared bus. So the Pentium 4EE is actually better then the Xeon MP. Also, Xeon is built on the Pentium...
