If anyone has any benchies, put em in here. I'd love to see the whole picture in black and white. some of you must have swapped an E6600 for a Q6600? Is there ANY difference?

I see a lot of people going for the q6600 energy efficient, which sounds like a really good deal. However, I've seen no hard figures showing why it's better to have a quad over a duo, espessially for a gamer.

I have a bunch of vouchers for a local store. I could get an E6850 and overclock the knickers off it. They also stock retail q6600's would that be a better option for a gamer? Or should I keep my E6600 (fine at 3.2) for a while longer?
 
Kind of expected this response. Wish there was something faster out by now.

I've had the same CPU for a year. I feel dirty.
