Hiya Peeps,

am speccing together a few machines for work which will be processor and ram intensive. At work we will be multi tasking but also need raw processing power for the applications we use. Now regarding the CPU, I am looking at either:

Intel Core 2 Quadro Pro Q6600 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

or

Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

now with the Q6600 being £300 more expensive per CPU, can someone please tell me if it is a worthwhile purchase over the E6600? Are there any comparisons of these 2 processors that anyone knows of? I need to be able to justify spending over £1650 on the Q6600 CPUs instead of around £900 for the E6600s!

Thanks in advance :)
 
thankyou 4 your advice :) the E6600s are the ones to be ordered then :cool:
