Q6600 or E6700

[bobby_valentino]

Hi, im due an upgrade, and was looking at the benchmark performances between these two CPU's. I really need your lotz help, as im torn apart and cant decide which one to go for. Iv summed up that quad core will be good, but there arnt many apps to take advantage, and dual core is good, but could get outdated really quickly once the 22nd comes for the price cuts grr. All replies and suggestions welcome!!

Ah few questions, what are multipliers? (allow you to up the cpu speed or something?... im a bit of a n00b at this)

Also what do you mean by 'true' quad core?

great, thanks for that, really helped!

...Hmm decisions, decisions...

Also another one of the main reasons the Q6600 is reducing in price is because of a new quad cpu soon to be released: Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66 GHz...i bet you all knew that lol...
