Only one core of my Q6600 is showing. After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 (build 7000 x86) only one one core of my quad-core Q6600 is displaying in the task manager. I tried installing nForce drivers but that didn't help (MSI P6N Diamond). Does anyone know...

Upgrade Q6600 or Buy New i7 920?. I find myself in a crappy situation. I am currently using the follwing PC for home use: (mostly for video games with a lot of internet browsing and some music listening thrown in) [i]CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz Q6600...

do agree that two very fast cores are better in performance than 4 medium fast cores but its not that q6600 is a **** proccy rite??? the point im trying to make is why spend close to $200 for a dual core when u can play games very well on the q6600 and save...

the E6750 have half the cores of the Q6600, it only has an 8x multiplier as compared to the Q6600's 9x. This means that when you match the 333Mhz FSB with the Q6600, you will have a 3Ghz quad core. Any way you count it, that will be quite a bit more powerful...

so I know I'm getting the best components, and have it slapped together by the local hole-in-the-wall computer shop. However, this looked like a sweet deal to me: ACER ASE700-EQ662A CPU: Quad core Q6600 2.4GHz RAM: 2GB (don't know the speed - if someone...

Temperature Monitor Applications not Recognizing Quad Core Processor. Hello, I just changed my old Intel Dual Core E6750 Core 2 processor for a Quad Core Q6600 processor. I just finished the upgrade and everything seems to be working fine, with the only...

notice the Q6600 was OC'ed. :( Out of interest, why do you say the 6600 is the preferred choice for FSX? Which would you say can overclock better? The 45nm 9450 or the 6600? I would definitely go for the Quad Core Q6600 right now and yes it's preferred...

bad. I also picked up the new Antec Twelve Hundred case and the ABS Tagan 700 Watt power supply. I then finished it off with a Intel 2.4 quad core q6600 processor. With my already nice Abit board and 4 gigs of Corsair dd2 and Dell 2707 monitor running...
