hey guys. I've been a member for a long time, but got out of the overclocking game for a few years (budget limited). I got a new e6300 cpu, some G.skill 6400 hz memory and a gigabyte s3. I was able to get to the specs in my sig on the s3 and my current board the p5n-e sli. I would like to see 4ghz, but feel a e6400 would have to be a VERY special e6400 for me to get there on the first cpu. It took me two to get to 3.5ghz with my current e6300. My question is whether or not I should spend the extra $100 for twice the cache and a 9x multiplier of a e6600 instead of 8x with the e6400. However, I've read that the e6600 won't be able to get as high of a fsb due to the cache size. What would you do in my shoes?
