Q6600 better than 6000 AMD?

[byron_hinson]

I'm getting a new P5E motherboard this week and getting my first intel processor in years. I've been using the AMD 6000+ for some time and wondering if the well priced Q6600 gives a better performance than the AMD processor and will I notice it in games and such like with a GeForce 8800 GTX?

Cheers lads

Well after buying the Q6600 - definatly the Quad core.
