Hmmm, this actually supports 1333MHz FSB 6000 series.
Use LTSC and disable SVCHost split.
Anyone have an E6700/6750/6850? I'll trade for a Xeon E5440. (2.83GHz 12MB cache quad)
>in pile of untested CPUs, have E6300 (1.86GHz) and E6400 (2.13GHz)
Fuck.

Well, it is technically faster. Maybe I should test it.
install windows 7 32-bit
What's the fastest single-thread Core 2 CPU out there?

don't bother feeding data to these scumbags, I'm sure this garbage website will rank your cpu higher than a ryzen 7 5800X3D just because it's made by intel
Install Windows 8.0 or
E8600
Won't work in this machine since it can't take the 45nm CPUs.
Looks like CPU-Z's test doesn't take advantage of the extra cache of the E6400.
So, I wonder if that makes this the smallest upgrade in PC history.
Get a Q6600 or a Q9300, they're basically free around the internet.
Wait, the E4500 has 2MB too.
So the only difference is bus speed?
QX9650 probably.

Hmm, the G33 chipset technically *can* support 45nm.
It's only $5 for an E8400, but I don't know if I want to waste $5 on a CPU that's not on the support list.
I want to upgrade this so bad, but I don't want to spend $8 on a machine I'll be giving away for free.
I already put 2GB more DDR2 into it since I had that lying around.
3GHz 4MB cache Core2Duo ain't bad.
$3.44 on aliexpress with $3 off coupon.
So tempting...

Maybe I'll charge $5 for it.
Seems like the quad core has a bit lower frequency. Since the duo is probably much easier to get, I am considering that for a retro XP machine.
An even bigger "halp". Got it along with the E4500.
The onboard 32GB storage seems like it's dead, so I have a laptop HDD sticking out the back. (it weirdly doesn't quite fit in the slot for it)
Not sure if this thing is going to be worth a $20 SSD.
Seems its turbo makes up for its low base clock, so it's only a hair under the E4500.
As an AIO it might just be worth a 120GB SSD.
