Q8200 and 4mb L2 Cache

[kppanic]

As the title suggests,

a 4MB L2 cache on a quad?? Am I missing something here?!?

That seems very.... abnormal for a quad..

Budget 45nm quad? OCUK claim 6MB cache (incorrectly I think)

The product title says 4MB yet the description claims 6MB

hmph

How is this a better CPU than a Q6600?? (other than SSE4.1)?

45nm means cooler running and more efficient. Higher standard FSB?

If you want to overclock it, then stick with the Q6600. Higher multi and a proven clocker. Although I understand the latest batches do not clock the way they used to.
