Good old Q6......

[mraquinn]

So I'm in the market for a new box and I've just seen the Q9550 bundle for £445 which looks pretty tasty.....but......could I save a fortune getting an older Q6700 and overclocking it?

Realise the performance won't be the same but it will be a big step up from the P4 I'm running at the moment!!!

In my eyes id go for the Q9550 as i probably wouldnt be wanting to upgrade in a fare bit but it depends what your going to do but either way you'll feel the differance

If you're considering spending that much, I'd be tempted to stump up another £70 and get this.

Although the Q9550 is fantastic, you'd be nuts not to go for the i7 bundle if you can just get those few extra £££

Agreed i7 is up to date as well should you upgrade later on

Yes I know, that was why I was going to recommend it

Took me ages to find it, as I was looking for one at £499 :/
