I've made up my mind on an E6850 after lots of thought simply because I don't want to overclock a Q6600 and find myself unhappy with the high temps. That and the fact that although more games will come with quad-core support, a dual-core processor should happily be enough and I'll be aiming for an overclock on the E6850 of 3.6-3.8Ghz on air.

Q6600 Vs. E6850
- Thread starter davejuk
- Start date
early reports are about 4ghz on stock cooler (thats going on the e6750's results) whether they will actually achieve this is a different matter, as most of the cpu's tested to date are all engineering samples, so they could perform better or worse than the released cpu's...
I'm after either an e6750/e6850/q6600
But i want to clock the hell out of it, so am awaiting propper release and lots and lots of reviews
(i want 4ghz.. hehe, or at least 3.4 if its quad... im greedy 
)

I doubt it, I think gibbo said maybie £10/20 that's about it, tbh I don't think they need to really as I think the demand for these chips will be quite high, personaly I think £199 for the E6850 is a bargain anyway, I paid arounf £800 for an X6800 when they first came out, lucky I wised up and sold it and decided to o/c my E6300 instead.
