heat gets hotter than a standar dual core with stock heatsink/fan, isn't priced at 183$
it's out of stock and the price won't go down.. what's up guys??
that only apply to US newegg namely. Over here in canada we have more stock then people who acturally care about Q6600.
well it's actually already in stock now.. but the price surprisingly went up to $320.00
Clubit and Mwave has the cheapest prices so far for the Q6600.

isn't that a ripe I mean lol they were suppose to be 270ish each. Now because the demand and supply they raise it all the way to 320 and there is no garrenty on getting the g0 steping for such price. Newegg is such an evil evil company .
Honestly, intel and AMD BOTH announce upcoming technology too far in advance for there EVER to be an "appropriate" price.
By the time the quad core is cheap enough for the general non-techie user, something new is going to be out.
I mean, let's face it, when you can buy a complete computer for $300-500, most people are not going to be interested in a $300 processor. And intel's already announced the new smaller cores coming out this winter, which bump the clocks back up to the p4 range.
I think intel should chill out on announcing upcoming technology so far into the future, and they'll sell more of the current hardware, price aside.

DAMN! I ordered it from mwave last night for $273. It already got processed.
EDIT: lol i need to be more attentive...I read Butter's post as TWO hundred and forty five. Well I'm happy then =D
lol, I saw that too, supply and demand$345 !! wtf??
It's the same as the Core 2 Duo's. There isn't really an "ideal" temperature, but you need to watch out for it getting too hot. IMO I would try to keep it under 55C, but it can still work fine even at 65C.hey, lucky q6600 owners, a quick question. what's the ideal working temperature for that CPU?
