look nothing really uses more than 2 cores, that amd is way slower than the e8200 and if you overclock the e8200 it kicks ass big time, i have the e8400 and it was a fast cpu so im sure the e8200 aint far behind it
whats the difference between the e8200 and q6600? i have seen it as low as 300 bucks
E8200 2.6Ghz 45nm - R1299
E8400 3.0Ghz 45nm - R1458
Q6600 2.4Ghz 65nm - R1599
Apparently the newer 45nm cores run cooler, thus allowing for better overclocking? I'm not looking to overclock really, so it's not a selling point for me.
