bcoz I do almost 24/7 for my com....never dare to OC to stay at that temp....Wats the highest can q6600 can go paired with DDR800 ram?

me 24/7 too...400x8=3.2Ghz kinda mild OCing

talk about highest, its 4Ghz..but really rare..hardwares and cooling solution must be good..
hmm..3.6-3.8Ghz is a good achievement..

but maybe not for Q6600 b3 stepping 7

the Q6600 stable runing 24 /7 is wat actually ... or get the Q6700 better?

24/7= 24 hours ,7 days a week

q6700 have higher multiplier... but that doesnt mean u can OC a lot more higher....

jsut get a q6600 is good enuf for ur bucks

Seconded. Q6600 really a budget quad

-pWs-

quad core is suitable for designer heavy metal hardrock core crazy but really, it serves me very well XD

for those who wonder the significant of cpu cores quantity in pc gaming....

hahaha quad core user here q6600 running at 24/7 3.6Ghz 400x9 temp around 50+ with no air cond even with high gaming running(supreme com with full blast army 1000 unit with 8 players) wont go beyond 62C.

with air cond on can go as low as 40C on my rig using HSF red scorpion(full blast stock fan)

And for the record its running great since first installed in january 08

a Q6600(B3) did gets to 90c++ with stock hsf(used, some old thermal paste still stuck on the hsf) without applying a new thermal paste...

right.i wonder if i can use all the quad core.hehe

Guess different people have different needs for pc usage.. I'm using mine for Games, Web designing photo editing and audio mixing.. so, Quad core is essential for me.. so, I vote for Quad core... hehehe

woot!! still got ppl vote for single core... haha... single core seems not enough for me... dual core more than enough... quadcore 4x more than enough... haha

My Q9450 is serving me very well for 3D Designing, rendering, video encoding/rendering as well as doing multiple stuff without wasting my time. Quad 4 t3h winrar

Quad Core FTW!

Quad is good

you will see "advantage" when you starts doing video encoding & photo editing with a Quad.
