Re: Core 2 Duo E8400 vs. Core 2 Quad Q6600

It will do 3.6 GHz without breaking a sweat simply by bumping it to the 9x multiplier. No problem with the memory, it runs right at spec (1066) with the 400 MHz FSB. To be honest, I don't have any software (errr... games) that require me to OC at all! Everything I play runs beautifully at max settings even when it's set completely stock. I do like the feeling of getting something for nothing though! I'm sure I will move to 3.6 GHz for 24/7 use at some point. Getting something for nothing is rare these days! -- My Jeep is not an SUV.

I run it @ 3.4 GHz (8.5 x 400 MHz) with air cooling 24/7 with no issues at all. That's all? You can easily do 3.6 GHz with not a single voltage change unless it's memory settings you touched as well.

The C2D's will run cooler than the quads and tend to be easier to overclock if you plan to do that. The newer E0 stepping 8400's are even better. If you are mainly interested in gaming, I would jump on the 8400. If you plan to do a lot of number crunching and have apps that will take advantage of 4 cores, go with the quad. -- My Jeep is not an SUV. Your SUV is not a Jeep.
