Same Performance

Will a e6600 have the same performace in games as the q6600?

currently it should, but when games begin to utilize quad cores, the q6600 will obviously be superior.

yes, but who knows how long it will take to release a quad core patch... i'm guessing a long time ...

I'm pretty sure Alan Wake is quad core supported. According to the little trailer/video i watched on it, it utilizes and entire core for processing physics.

Do you think it's worth the extra ~$50 to get the quad core?

 

[zaroba]

if the difference is only $50 i'd go with it.

hell, now you have me thinking of getting one.

Well for a 266$ Qaud Core I think it might be worth it.

There are more and more games being released that support Quad-Core. Supreme Commander, for example, supports Quad Core CPUs without the need for any patches.

If the difference is only $50, I wouldn't even consider the E6600. The Q6600 is a much better investment in the long term.

That 50$ difference will be available in like 4 months from now

Newegg's price difference is $308 USD for E6600 and $835 USD for Q6600. That's over a $500 difference. Where are you getting it for only $50 more?????

I thought it was this qaurter's price cut that was cutting the price to 266 for the Q6600. But it might be the next price cut.
EDIT: The new cut is in Q3 so in 3 months
