Turophiliac Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) why can't you make that decision on your own? seems like a personal choice to me. you know where to look for reviews, so look at them and compare. choose what you think is best.

XiXVenomXiX Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 You can always clock it a little higher, but you can never add more cores, remember that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Q6600 at even stock speeds is no slouch, it will be good for a few more years to come.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow47 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Yeah, keep the q6600, it's only gonna appear faster in the immediate future as things begin to take advantage of more cores. As Ste said, it's no slouch even at stock speeds, I just oc'd mine to get a better 3dmark score Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Id sell it and move to either Q9650 or sell it all and move to i7... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieg1337 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 The E8400 can beat quad cores, but only when it is overclocked to like 4ghz+, as I have seen in your other threads you don't have AC, and your temperatures aren't very low, so it would be useless for you. You shouldn't waste your time upgrading your computer when you can't even afford AC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
