It's faster :)
Nothing different about it other than 300 more mhz.
The smart buy is to get the cheapest model with 4MB of L2 cache, they
overclock well if you're into that sort of thing, if not you're still
getting 80-90% of the performance of the Extreme for 1/4th the cost.

Nope, just 800 for now. Look for DDR2 PC6400. All in all, due to Conroe's
vastly superior IPC, your dual 3.06 would probably be bested by even an
E6300.
What is extreme about the extreme that makes them cost so much more
For example = Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 2.93GHz LGA 775 - Retail at Newegg
is a grand. Which is something I might do if it performs like two physical
processors.
But it is twice the price of an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66GHz LGA 775
Processor - Retail
why?
