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

I pondered the same question and then went with the E8400 (C0 stepping) and don't regret it. 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.

 Heh, you are correct. 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!
