Unless you do some serious video editing/recoding how on earth is an e6600 sluggish? I have a launch e6600 w/ 2 gigs ram and Vista and I've not had any problems. Games are always graphics card limited for me. Aside for Flight Sim X. As for video recoding your graphics card is better at that than your CPU anyhow. If you edit video on the other hand, please accept my sincerest apologies.
@Mark Of course im serious. And quit calling me Shirley. Serious video editing/decoding is the key. These freaking 1080p mkv files are hogs! Im usually downloading at capacity, streaming, and decoding all at once. E6600 was the 3rd or 4th best consumer processor when it came out, and it was righteous. Right now though, i feel like i need 10 of them in parallel.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
The centrino 2 as it stands right now is not so bad, although i really couldnt tell a difference between that and the c2d 7000 series.
All i know is, im ready for my Nehalem upgrade. E6600 getting a little sluggish.
Like a wet sponge.
Surely you're not serious?
Core 2 Duo and Centrino 2 aren't brandnames for the same thing... -_-" Centrino isn't just the CPU.
