Either way, Q6700 will clock way way higher. Q9300 hasn't gotten over 3.8Ghz stable, and I have seen PhaseChange cooled Q6700 go to atleast 4.2Ghz... Which is very very high...
I reckon a Q6600 would even OC higher then the Q9450 because if I am correct the Q6600 will go over 3.8Ghz and stay stable (with the correct Voltage tweaks).
