What constitutes an upgrade from an OC'd Q6600

[thegoonden]

I'm starting to feel daft again.
I built this windows box after realising that my last attempt (now the Gentoo box shown in sig), had no upgrade path whatsoever.

"well, I'll get one of these little Q6600 jobbies and a year or two from now, pop in one of those things that cost £1000 at the moment...when they cost £50", I thought.

But most of what I read around here suggests that the Q6600 is pretty well unbeatable.

So, is this the case, at some point (determined by price) will I be able to upgrade to a chip that would hammer the 6600?

Or have I bought ANOTHER dead end box.

IS one of the £1000 chips any quicker.

Oh nothing at all, as you say the GPU is the spoiler.
Just thinking of the future (which is why I bought DDR3).
As long as there's a few more MHz out there for me somewhere eventually.
I take it we've seen the last of LGA775 now that Nehalem (or whatever it's called) is coming.
