e2200, e6850 or e7200 need help choosing

out of the 3 of these which 2 would you keep.

i like the idea of the power savings and lower heat of the 1066 fsb e7200 but does it really smoke an 1333 fsb e6850 when oc'ed

i paid 50 for the e2200 and have used it for half a year all the way up to 3.2 ghz

the e6850 cost 108 dollars still in box
and the e7200 was a combo deal still in box for 140 , will sell the board to make up the difference

lookin to move up to a 45nm quad when they drop to sub 180 but for now which of these should i keep

should i try to get rid of my pentium d 805 and and drop the e2200 in the asrock and drop either the e6850 or e7200 in my 975x server

decisision decisions
thanx for the help
 
keep the e2200 and run it until it dies or when the quads are closer to ur price range. the other cpu's arent a tremendous jump
 
ok thanks for the replies ,

does anyone know if my asrock 775dual vsta will run with the e6850 ,
the e2200 will thats why i want to keep it ,so i can retire that old pentium d 805
really it comes down to the e7200 vs the e6850 , havent seen too many articles talking about these two vs each other
should i just sell the e6850 for a small profit and stick with the energy efficient e7200 , it will be running on my 975x p5wdg2 pro
 
Just sell the e6850, the e7200 is a great chip. Honestly they're about the same but you can sell the e6850 for moar :D
 
I have almost got my E7200 to 4.0ghz. It posted but was not stable and a little too hot for my taste. Right now I run it at 3.8ghz.
 
My e7200 runs at 8.5 x 400 for a total of 3.4GHz using stock voltages and stock cooling. I can only imagine what it would do with better cooling and pushing the voltages. If a "stock" e7200 can do 3.4Ghz, then it seems like the best deal out there.
