CPUS From OCUK

I get a decent clock on this mobo at the moment. 3.15ghz from 2.40ghz on standard volts.
Really what ive been hearing is. the Q6600 sounds better than the 6700.
so would i be right in saying id be better with the 6600 ?

c
 
was that on default volts InkZ ??

I really couldnt be f*cK**d installing 2 operating systems allover again with a new board. too much stuff installed on both OSs. from what i gathered from Tetras. I would really need a new mobo to get to 3ghz with a 6600. but with a 6700 ill get there no probs.
will my system not run ok with a 6700? id be happy with a 3GHZ clock. no more. either way. id still be doing better than what i have..
3.15 ghz = 2 cores (E6600)
3.00 ghz = 4 cores (Q6700)
