I know very little about them and I can't see the difference in paying about £10 more in the XXX and the Extreme version.

XXX is 10mhz faster.

[Sava700]

XXX is 10mhz faster.

yea I see that too but something isn't adding up if the XXX is cheaper??


I would think something else makes the Extreme better than just that 10mhz difference which you can easily adjust in coolbits

[JamieLee2k]

yeah the price difference for an extra 10mhz doesn't sound like a good deal

No its the cheaper one that has the 10mhz more by your post.

Actually the XXX edition has faster memory, 1.6 GHz vs. 1.5 GHz on the extreme edition plus a 10MHz faster core over the extreme edition.
