Very nice pricing.. especially the Q6600.. BTW itz take2.co.za not take!!;)
 
Three months ago I would hav told u go for the E6600 purely bcause of price..now u get the Q6600 @ the E6600 old price ;) Well worth it. You may wanna take note that u wont see a performance boost in gaming due to most games not optimised for Quad Core, but general multi-tasking it's a kickass chip, also covers u when the developers start optimising games for quad core ;)
 
hmmm .... I have a question:

how many of you buy CPUs that cost R5,000+?
 
I buy systems for R5 000+! I won't go over R1 500 for a cpu, coz anything higher is for bragging and since i play games there's little performance increase, unless you got a 8800gts-gtx coz then having a monster cpu only decreases the bottle necking as those graphics cards are to powerful for current cpu's
 
Prphecy has them coming in by the end of this month, 27 and 25 July I think, so basically they'll be here next week or soon enough.
 
I see there was a Quad Core system in the SM section of the paper for R5999.
 
Ok, here are some new prices:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 1333Mhz Frontside Bus - R1600
