Hey Everyone,

First of all let me explain why I am asking for the quick response. It's Canadian Thanksgiving, so the place where I picked up my stuff will be closed, soon, and tommorow, then I leave town.

I went to pick up stuff for my new computer build. Everything was okay, except:

I wanted:
Asus P5K-VM with an Intel e6750 Core 2 Duo
http://www.memoryexpress.com/index [...] 10658&SID=

I got the
Asus P5K-VM with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
http://www.memoryexpress.com/index [...] =9637&SID=

This is another site, and not where I bought the products, to preserve the possible mistake they made.

I was given the Q6600 at the price for the e6750.

My question to you all is:

Should I be going back to exchange it either because it won't work, or I was given a poorer product.

Core 2 Quad Q6600 is better and US$70 more expensive than Core 2 Duo E6750.

You just landed a great deal. You got a much much better product...

Chances are... they might be hoping you come back to get your order right. :lol:

I don't see why a Q6600 wouldn't work, or why you'd think it's more poor then the E6750. You got 2 more cores for free. :D
