The Q6600 will give you less of a gaming performance than the E8400. However, the Q6600 is the multitasker's processor. So if you do both multitasking and gaming, the Q6600 should be fine. Try getting the G0 stepping though. More OC-ability, cooler, more efficient, and overall better than the B3 version.
