Allow Dimension 520 to use E6600 again

60 points posted to Dimension products by richderuiter 02/20/07

Recently I noticed that the Dimension 520 no longer allows the E6600 (2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo). What happened? A month ago it did! I've got to go to the XPS to get the E6600 (which seems to be the sweet spot for power/$). Or, I've got to shop elsewhere.

03/15/07		 Dell my move the E6600 with 4 MB level 2 cache, back to the Dimemsion 520 location soon. Intel will add 2 more MB, of memory, to the level 2 cache, for the E6300, and the E6400,processors soom. The E6600 has 4 MB level 2 cache, and the E6300, and E6400, only have 2 MB level 2 cache, at the present time.

I would definitely have the E6600 processor (2.4 GHz, 4MB Cache) available. I would also for those who don't want to spend the extra for Core2Duo also offer the 3.0 and 3.2 GHz, 4MB Cache Pentium D processors as well.

04/28/07		 I want the E6600 on my next computer. AMD had the faster Desk Top computer 1 year ago, The AMD FX computers were the faster system. The Intel, E6600, was as fast as, the AMD FX. I do not want the E6400.

I'd like to see the E6600 used on the Dimension 520. They probably would sell many more of those computers to those who'd want the faster processor if they did.
