I don't know if I've shared my article in the forums yet or not, but here I go anyway!

I took a look at the upcoming Conroe CPUs and used a special formula to calculate which one is the best deal in terms of price to performance. I know the formula isn't perfect, but I think its good enough to determine which CPU has the most bang for the buck.

I hope this helps anyone looking to buy a Core 2 Duo CPU who wants to get the most performance for the money. Also, feel free to let me know of any suggestions you may have.

Things could be realy intresting if they decide to make an even lower clocked 4MB version for under 200$

I'm getting a E6600 pretty soon here, I considered it to be best bang for the buck of the 4mb L2 versions, the 2mb L2 versions really aren't Conroe's, they are considered Allendales. I managed to get my E6600 for only $290
