Oh I'm sorry Wayne,

The op has just wasted his money by buying the inferior chip for his son.

Sometimes you just gotta state the facts. Give advice when you know its correct.

Making flippant statements are easy...wasting money based on the wrong advice is inexcusable.

So sorry lanz , with sugar on top you clearly don't have a clue.

Sorry but havent brought chip yet but have put a want on members market for a q6600.
 
Make sure you specified a G0 stepping one though, people will be all to happy to palm you off with there old B3's
 
A decent overclocked Q6600 will keep you going for a good year I bet still, all it took to get mine too 3.5 was a H50 cooler and finding the right Vcore and a small fan I fitted to mobo heatsink runs sweet now.

Thanks for the post its actually finding a chip for sale thats hard at moment plenty avalable before xmas and now none around how i wish i got the new q6600 for £60 while i was away.
 
My Q6600 is in a P5Q-E (Similar to the one you have) mobo & it easily went to 3.6 without too much vCore (1.375)

I think the Q6600 still has more than a year left in it, I'm hoping for another 2 or so out of mine before I want to upgrade rather than need to. Theres a QX6700 on the MM just now, think it's going for about £120....don't know if that is out of budget or not though.

Q6600 for £60 would have ben a steal m8.

£120 is Q8400 money though.
 
i think the QX6700 is a good chip and for 120 its not a bad price depends what cooling and how far you expect to overclock. its a good upgrade without having to replace mobo and ram etc, but if you have a q6600 G0 you might not notice an improvement unless your using advance cooling

q6600 = 65nm, 9x multi.
q8200 = 45nm, 7multi

the q8200 will run cooler but both should get around the same OC but small advnatge to q6600. althought when looking at benchmarks the stock 8200 is better.
