As thread title states, both oc'd to their maximum potential, what would yield better price / performance ratio? I am upgrading after 2 years and have fallen out of touch with the latest CPU results for gaming.
- Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail - £187.99
- Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - OEM - £140.99
Also, what mobo chipset / mobo would you recommend with both?
Please remember this is a 100% gaming machine.
Thanks,
Callum.
