E8400 or Q6600?

[mortonman1]

i want he q6600 cause i have a feeling i wont be outdated quickly. what do you think

well personally i favour the E8400, because i like my cpu's to run cool and i have no need for 4 cores so the duo is far more suited to what i do. but it depends on what you want it for... gaming or general usage - E8400
decent multitasking like gaming while burning a movie and other stuff-q6600.

but personally i would get the E8400.

or wait for the q9450. best of both worlds. quad core and new 45nm technology haha.

What are you going to use it for?

Anyways, look at this thread:

It's the exact same question (E8400 vs. Q6600)
