August 22, 200619 yr hi all with the new Conroe 2, which cpu do you think is the best for value vrs dollar wise?discuss. I7-10700F RTX 3070 32 Gig Ram
August 22, 200619 yr E6600 would be best bang IMO.I would be upgrading your videocard too if you're entertaining the idea of a Conroe system.. Cheers,John TavendaleTextures by Tavers - https://www.facebook.com/texturesbytavers
August 22, 200619 yr Depends where you read. I think Toms Hardware suggests the 6300 but I dont think that is good enough for FS. On other forums the 6600 is suggested as the best value. It outperforms the FX62 on some tests and is much cheaper. I went for the 6700. It is still a sensible price and much faster in most tests and cheaper than the FX62.See my post above re performance.Edit: I would'nt recomend the 7900gt graphic card. Regards Howard H D Isaacs

August 23, 200619 yr Hi ClaytonSee my post on the core 2 duo and google '7900gt freeze' - you will see what I mean. nVidea is needed to use the triple headtogo at max resolution. I can't give any other recommedations. It probably worth looking at the various hardware websites but bare in mind that it is probably not worth spending too much with dx10 around the corner.
