709854 2008-10-05 20:23:00 If it was mine I'd get the Q6600.

Right now the 8500 will probably offer better performance, but in the near future, quad core will have the advantage. Esp if you wanna overclock it.

709855 2008-10-05 20:26:00 Really considering the price difference and that the q6600 can be overclocked to 3.4GHz i think stable with no water cooling needed.....:eek: Silver_Blade (10144)
