the best one to use? Should I keep what I have or go with the E8400? Also, if I keep the q6600, I think I'd like to change the motherboard soon...any recommendations? Thanks everyone! :bounce: Napski. Hi everyone! I currently have a Q6600 2.4GHZ...

a new cpu that's much faster than a q6600. Blah.. the only way to avoid a debate is not post anything about it. Just get what you want, whether its a Q6600 or E8400 or E8500. Or BE Phenom on a MB with a SB750, is not left to be out. Geesh. If your not...

The thing is, in real gaming, not 3dmarks or 800x600 low scaling tests, where is the e8400 going to outgame the Q6600? Even 3.6GHz e8400 vs 3.0GHz Q6600, what games will there be a noticeable difference? Priced similar as is common now, I'd take the Q6600...

Sapphire 100225L Radeon HD 3870 and 3ds max 9.. I believe that I can have my cake first then my green beans. I am putting together a system and know I will be able to run 3ds on the system. (Intel X38, Intel E8400, 2 Corsair 2GB DDR3 – PC3 10600, 2...

know its the future and games will use more cores for procesing. Back to the topic the GPU i want is a OCed version. with cores of 675 and 2300 can that take more power from the PSU? Then you should take q6600 over e8400. 95w instead of 65w at stock,...

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...

these programs : The su9400 will do perfectly! For more intensive programs , you might wanna consider a bit stronger processor. Though in opinion , for intensive programs or gaming it's better to have a regular computer , with some Q9550/Q6600/E8400/...

he'll be lucky if he ends up losing ONLY the grand... Yes, the e8400 isn't exactly top of the line now, but it's still good. I saw reference to the 6600, which I assumed was the q6600 quad, which is older than the e8400. If you want to go with a newer quad,...

that setup require less CPU speed? i would reccomend the fastest quad for amd overclocked to about 3.5-6 GHZ (not easy) and for intel, at least 3Ghz Core 2 duo/quad. Q6600 or a E8500 will crush AMD offerings, both of them hover around $180, E8400 is $165 or...
