Just look at the box of the CPU
It should have the correct name printed on the box.

I don't think they let you open three CPU packagings just to see the model number printed on the heatspreader of the CPU :D

:lol: hari hari bung... meya ahanne eeka neweine...

Daapan ube sira explanation ekak ;)

That's what he is "asking". Maybe that's not what he "wanted to ask" though :D

    :yes:

    You are right guy. I am asking technically how they can be distinguished. ( I.e. clock speed, cores, cache and other significant deferences)

    Basically these:

    * But there are many architectural changes.

    * Bottom line is, Core 2 Duo is about 2 times as fast as a Pentium D at the same clock speed (eg: 3GHz vs 3GHz) or same speed as a Pentium D at half the clock speed (eg: 1.5GHz vs 3GHz), half the power consumption (eg: 65W vs. 130W for the top of the line models) and runs cooler because of it.

    These days we can see the CPU through the box right? So that we can choose a good OCable CPU.

    normaly here we order and pay after that we can see the cpu ;) i mean normal selling style in SL

    ya.The dumba**es over @ Mitech didnt knew what is E6550.When I described the specs they say they hav one.I didnt got it coz they had the box in stores and I only get to see the CPU after I purchased it.:P The fool even said there is only one CPU with the specs u said.(C2D,2.33GHz,4M,1333FSB)Then I said there is E 6540 without TXT.Fool called and said back that the CPU no is E2180 :P :P :D.I brought the CPU from Barclays for 23150 after seeing the CPU for real.

    hehe cool anyway why you got 6550? when you can OC 4400?
    Anyway how about Quad core prices?

    1333>>800 and the4=2x2.Fella is an animator where 3Dmax and Maya knows how to handle a CPU.Got the Gigabyte P35-DS3P with OCing options and 45nm support.cost 19k.Brought the Only 8500GT in Colombo frm Nunet for 12.5k.Its 512MB with GDDR2 with 450/800 same as 256MiB version.In LK prob is there are no middle stream.High end or Low end.
    Quads got in to high 30s this week.With the large stock at barclays touching the seiling and PC house gonna fight back we will soon see a price dropping.Also the Nunet shipping is arriving in two weeks and EPSI gonna order E 6320/6420 soon after their stock finished.Wait but not after budget.

    In LK ppl dont need taxes to increase the price.Just the budget,fuel,copper,anythin almost touchin will do.
    Yeah Q6600.I get it for 36k so that means you get it for like 38k.Sad part is actual price is like 78% of it.But its ok considering the past.RAMs are dirty cheap these days like Paris Hilton.I even get KVR with life for 3200 Rs.Barclays got the cheapest in Colombo for 4k with 3 years or 5years with life.Patriot and Corsair value are still 1~2k ahead.

    So how or where you get it for 36k? Anyway SL still need to create good market prices for VGA. RAM, CPU comparably cheaper according to US prices. But VGA no where near.
