Q6600, hands down and if u plan to go further than 3.2, also Q6600.

The lower fsb on the Q6600 makes ocing easier and not so mobo demanding.

Make sure u get a Q6600 Go stepping

But, QX6800 beats it easily

Nice explanation there dude.

For me, I`ll consider the future, so quad is for me. And just ask urself this, how much difference is 3.8GHz (average max Q6600 oc) vs 4.5GHz (average max E8400 oc)??

In fact any core processor above 3Ghz is considered fast

Non ocer, Q82000 lo

For oc, Q6600 Go is legend!

But it is not better than a q6600. The 8200 will not hv the q6600 prowess in ocing.

But at stock speeds i think the 8200 is a bit faster
