Hello,

I am aware after reading lots of threads on here that the q6000 is better suited to labour intense applications and the E8400 is better for gaming. As I originally thought I was going for the Q6600 I read a lot about it and to get a GO version for overclocking. Now I am thinking from advice within the forums that the E8400 is a better choice for gaming but I have not seen a E8400 with go stepping etc. Can some one point me in the right direction of which version of this chip I should be looking out for?
 
The pennies dropped

Ah i see they all have this new stepping as standard so I do not need to worry about where i buy one from. Thanks for clearing that up you have been very helpful.
