    Default E8400 vs Q6600

    Well I have a choice I which one I might get. I haven't been paying as close of attention to the new tech as I used to. Which one would be better for gaming, as i already know the q6600 would be better for general uses. Don't bring the price in though its not a factor here lol. So what do you guys think?

    Price is not a factor? Get a Q9650!

    Personally I'd recommend the Q6600 if you plan on overclocking.

    Probably crysis casually, I run a lot of internet lol, dual mons. ,Spore, basically recent games. Nothing two

    system heavy , but I do have a 1680x1050 mon so it makes things a little harder, (crysis would be on the

    19in) any new games im really not able to now, some rts games, maybe unreal 3. Or even an mmo. but my

    comp is 3 years old now so I really need a new system. Its ****ed up too lol explorer crashes on turn off...

    I play everything. I just want it it be future proof, It was the best feeling maxing out bf2 on this rig, when it

    was "amazing graphics".

    Vista too btw.

    Lemmie put it this way, I love gaming , and I haven't been able to. But I want it to be as future proof as

    possible. Thanks for you help btw Crenn

    Im leaning towards the e8400 right now, but a quad core would be kick ass bragging rights.
