Q8200 or Q6600?

[d3moliti0n]

Hi

As the title says, which of these CPU's is the best? I'm upgrading my CPU/memory and graphics card soon and am trying to decide which CPU to buy as these two are both around the same price these days. Main use of the computer is gaming btw.

Thanks for your help.

Have a read of this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18092845. Seems the Q6600 is the better chip.

To be honest, i would be very tempted to change the mobo as well and go either i5 or AMD.

Oh and Mery Xmas.
