I would say the E8400 for now, but in the future once more processing power is needed the quady would be up there.
Much the same.
i agree,however i think by the time games take full advantage of Quad core the quads we have now will be outdated.
Q6600, its more future proof
doesnt oc well?
I'd go with the Q6600. I know that the E8400 is better for gaming but it's not like the quad won't run games fine. Software developers are really starting to push for software that can run on multi threads. I am sure that gaming is not all you do. Both are great processors...Intel legends...but I would personally go with the Quad.
but lets say for someone else who Games, but also does more Photo/Video edit, the Q66 is perfect.
