I just want to say that I LOVE my e6600. Intel really got things right after the P4. It runs cool, it has a massive amount of L2 Cache, it over clocks like a freaking monster and is incredibly stable!
Its truly an enthusiast's dream. I paid $315.00 w/ free shipping for mine and its over clocked to 3.2ghz... and it SURPASSES the performance of the 2.93ghz Core 2 Extreme that goes for literally 3 times as much.... and I have so much more room to over clock.
Many run it stable at 3.6ghz.... a 50% over clock is unreal to me. I was a huge AMD fan and I still am.
I am really happy Intel actually got back into the fight after the AMD's A64, that means AMD is going to work their ass off to come back with something that wows us all again.
I really love this competition.... now only if AMD/ATI can get their act together and get a DX10 videocard out before Winter : (....
