shouting. A q6600 @ 3.0 gives at least as much gaming performance as a e8400 @ 3.0ghz. A small number of games can make use of the extra cores on the q6600 and therefore in those game the quad will have a big lead. The temps of the q6600 vary depending...

What are the Performance Differences between the Q8200 And E8400?. What are the Performance Differences between the Q8200 And E8400? :ange: . What are the Performance Differences between the Q8200 And E8400? :ange: :P Ok. Seems like the Q8200 is crap....

gtx 19,000. So if 40Rs=1$ then 9600 gt sli will be 450$ and 9800 gtx 475$, so money wise and performance wise(again at these 3 resolutions) 9600 gt sli seems better to me. E8500 is around 12,000 and Q6600 i around 10,000 and Q9300 is around 13,000. Now have...

like a bottleneck to my 9800gx2. if ur interested in a cpu go with a e8400 or a q6600 there really cheap i believe they can be found under 200 i got my q6600 for 196$ Yes, for sure an e8400/Q6600 card would give you massive performance increases. Your card...

it uses desktop CPUs i ask here Well there are many options availabe on this beast. There are many options for this beast E8400(Which is the stock model), Q6600(Adds $35), Q6700(Adds $65), Q9450(Adds $165) and Q9550(Adds $360) I will do gaming,Photoshop...

this is a gaming machine, true. It's $20 less too :) MikeMK, I suggest you find some of the threads comparing E8400 and Q6600 and see which fits you better. The E8400 is better for some people , while the Q6600 is better for others. For example the E8400 is...

Was looking at getting an E8400 CPU or Q6600, now do you have to match the RAM speed to the CPU FSB?? ie do i need 1333Mhz RAM for the E8400 to get the best from it or will DDR800 do? I have seen 4xGb of OCZ Reaper (4-4-4-15) DDR2 800Mhz for just under £76...

I'd compare an OC Q6600 to an OC (insert name of 2.66GHz Nehalem here), not OC to stock. By that metric, I'd bet the Nehalem flattens the Q6600. I still wouldn't upgrade if I had a Q6600, but seeing as my current system has a T7600, I think I'll be upgrading...

CaptStress It's time to get a new computer. You can't even upgrade a socket 939 anymore. You don't have to spend a huge amount. E8400 CPU P5Q pro 4Gb DDR2 800Mhz ATI 4850 Those parts would cost you about $550.00, and if your PSU is still fine, all...

integrated X4500. Yes, the 240GT is based on the 9800GT, which was based on the 8800GT, it will perform nearly the same as the HD 4850. A 3.0ghz dual core used to be better than a 2.6ghz quadcore (back then it was the E8400/Q6600 debate) but that is rapidly...
