The last Intel processor I owned was two P4 800Mhz Slot CPU's used in a dual slot motherboard. I thought I was da' man, so much so that I posted that computer on VH's reader rigs (which was on like page 4, so that tells you how long ago that was.) Well, for years after that I was a true diehard AMD fan. That is, until the tides recently turned and the tsunami of C2D arrived on the shores. Recently, Intel has been dominating the processor scene with it's new line of Core 2 Duo's. Well, once again Intel has stepped up to the plate by literally stepping up the FSB from 1066 to 1333. This new line of CPU's have a model of Exx50 which represents the 1333FSB. This bump on the CPU will now match the Front Side Bus of some newer motherboards. The new processor under the microscope is the new Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 (
