$134.99 with free shipping at the egg. real nice price for 45nm

other than the 3MB cache it sounds great. Im sure it would boot right into 1333fsb with ease. Nice find

I have the E4700 and the E7200 in a wish list, and can't really make a choice. Given it's for a SFF box, the nod probably needs given to the Wolfdale 7200. But in a full box, I can't imagine that big of a difference in actual usage.

Yeah, those two are going to be very similar. I would probably go for the E7200, it's actually cheaper and will probably run a bit cooler and use a bit less power.

i would take the E7200 personally. slightly cheaper now

probably overclocks better too

HERE'S an interesting read for those trying to decide between an E7200 and an E4700.

wow the 6550 was all over the place but the 7200 pretty much held its place throughout all the testing...

Parker · May 7th, 2008

oOooo. This looks like a fun processor to play with!

@Boynblack, I'd go for the E7200. It'll run cooler at a lower wattage, and it probably will clock higher...

I'd be interested to get my hands on one of these chips......

Interesting read, and thanks screwballl! That settle the exact conflict I was having.

The box I want it to go in has my 8400 that I want back for it's original home. It had a 4300, a 2160, 8200, Q6600, and back down to the 8400 that it holds now. I'm battling heat more than anything, and that's really my main deciding factor. SFF's are just tough nuts to crack, and even more so when they sit there folding while waiting to actually go to work on something. I'm convinced that it doesn't need shear horsepower as much as low voltage operation...but it helps if I can get both!

I'll order one up in a bit and hope to see it by Friday afternoon so that I can tinker over the weekend. I'll see how low it can go at 266 and at 333. I'd really like go against the desktop ideal of pinning it to the ground by it's ears, but rather see it do a more modest 333 (3.1Ghz) and stay around 1.15v. It's more practical for a SFF and can utilize some really good DDR2-667 that's been laying around with no place to call home.

If it's here by Friday though, I can stab it in the big boxes and see what it does for ya'll though. Newegg seems to be hit and miss down here, so I'll just cross my fingers.

Yup. They're all S's of some sort ;)
