The Q6600 isn't going to drop down in price dramatically, it's already cheap at $260, and you're not going to see it drop to $150. Most likely it will still be above $200.

So now that I might've gotten my computer sold, it's between the Q6600 now, or the E8400 in January. Collaborate...

I have been thinking about that Q9450 myself... Why wouldn't you get that? From the B3 to G0 stepping wasn't a dramatic increase in overclock ability...

The Q9450 isn't coming out until March, and going until March without a computer would be too much.
