Which Core2Duo?

[Ekhaatvensters]

Well done, well done indeed.

I'm sure the Q6600 will easily reach 2.66GHz with a mild overclock, though?

Get Q6600

 

[dotVIBE]

well, there you have it. the 6850 is slightly faster when run at stock speeds, but the quad can overclock better, ultimately giving better performance if you pimp it to the maximum degree. what fun. get a Q6600

 

[The_Techie]

So I'll be able to hit around 2.66GHz with stock cooler?

 

[XCalibre]

Easily, 3Ghz+ with good aftermarket cooler

 

[The_Techie]

I'll stick to about 2.7GHz with the stock for now

 

[dotVIBE]

Get a aftermarket cooler anyway. pimp value, silent running, deep troublefree sleep.

I sleep well at night, even with my AMD stock cooler at max
