mobo and faster ram. Q6600 needs 400 FSB Easy again and 1:1 with DDR2 800 I have no idea where you got your info, but the q9300 is not a good overclocker compared to q9700/q9600. If the q9300 is so good why are they phasing it out already? q9300 a...

price. Google Q6600 Q9300, and you can get some comparisons. Here is an example: They look very comparable to me. Q6600 oc easily to 3.6ghz. Q9300 is crippled by low multiplier and overclocks badly. Lower cache also hold back performance on heavier...

a E8400, Q6600, Q9300 or possibly a Q9450 if the prices drop on that a little bit. Figuring two or 3 Seagate hard drives, 500gb to 1tb, so whatever they use. I've been looking at a 800watt tagan power supply. It should still be fine. An oced q6600 plus 3 hdds...

to send audio with the video. Thanks for all the replies. Yeah I will be building a new system so the cpu will br strong enough for sure. I currently have a q6600 and q9300 but I am considering the i7 platform. As far as the noise though I will implementing...

could go with a 8x multiplier. The 9x multiplier on the Q6600 allowed it to get to 3.6GHz with the same FSB. LOL - I thought the same thing while reading the post. :) I remember a maximum pc article "Showdown Q6600 vs Q9300". They said even with a...

Q6600 vs q9400 vs q8300. Which to choose?. Basically looking for the best bang for your buck deal. So far I'm leaning towards the q8300. It's 2.5ghz and has a 1333mhz FSB where as the q6600 has 1066mhz. I was looking at the L2 cache and the q8300's is lower...

on getting a Q6600. You have a good CPU...for the same price as the Q6600 you can get a better 750i mobo from EVGA or anyone other than Dell that will allow you to OC the CPU and RAM to a point where it would be better than your current system with a Q6600....

4. I can't fin a chipset hierarchy on Toms (or anywhere else), nor one on the Intel site for their cores. Again referencing Toms I found that Core 2 Quad Q6700, Q9300, Q8400, Q6600& Q8300 are all tier 3 CPUs. I know a quad isn't "nessisary," but...
