First thing I did was disable mine. Just a waste of space in the chip imo unless used in a lappie. You thinking 660 or 661 or 650?

Probably the 650 or the 660. But just wanted 2 know if the extra
$10 was worth it 4 the intel graphics

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only i5 without on die graphics is the quad core i5 750. You don't want that crap. What you want is one of the i5 600 series with integrated graphics just so you can disable it when you install it :good:

The dual core i5's are built on 32nm process and clock WAY higher than the 45nm quads.

Thanks chuch....guess Now I have to decide between the 650 and the 660:) both are about the same in specs

$13 more I would go with the 660. Pretty sure it has a higher mult as the 650 default speed is 3.2ghz whereas the 660 is 3.33ghz.

Thanks nip was leaning towards the 660 :) gonna order it tonight yea

I would love to get my hands on one of these clarkies. Keep on wishin I guess...

:laughing: nip u probably do a better benching that I could ever do. Just wondering how long it will take me to break the son-of-bitch. I try to b gentle but I don't think it is in my nature hee hee

careful on the volts, they die quickly! best of luck and enjoy.

clarkdales are like bottle rockets.... they shoot up high then die.... the volts required 2.0+ v vcore prettty much will hurt it after a couple good runs
