Would I be restricting the performance of either of the above with a 3.6GHz Q6600? Currently looking at just biting the bullet and going for the 5870 as NV look unlikely to get anything about before xmas and I sold my GTX 280 over a month ago, so need something for MW2 :)

Also, any foreseeable price drops of the 5800 cards, possibly when 5870X2 is released?

No that cpu should do just fine at 3.6ghz. Theres quit a few people on here with q6600's enjoying there 5870 cards. In benchmarks it won't show very high scores but in games it should do well from what i have seen.
