E7200 looks great

[kaiweiler]

The new 45nm CPU from Intel looks awesome.
Can hit nearly 4Ghz for $133 :)
Looks like a great value chip, e2180, e4500, and now e7200?

the multiplier is 9.5x vs 11x of the e4700

price right now

That price is for the e8400...
and can also be found for significantly less.

Also, from what I've read the e7200 is not released until May 11

Damn so now I gotta but this one too! You guys are killing me with all the new HW out there.

[kaiweiler]

hahaha no, in your case I would pass on it since you already have the e8400.

This chip is going to be great for people looking for good performance and overclockability without paying the price of the e8400.

right, the 8400 is double the price

For the extra $70 the e8400 is a much better deal...twice the L2 cache and a higher FSB.
If budget were the only concern, the 7200 would be the obvious choice, I suppose.

Yeah I'v done some reading on it too and I would deff say spend the extra cash and go 8400

Sure, if you've got it ;)

Fair enough but when building a new rig you could always skimp on something else say a case or something until you get up the green :)
