Which CPU

[Smorgasbord]

Hi again,

I just want a couple of ppl's opinions!

I am seriously looking to get a new CPU now, and i have decided it's either:

Intel E8200, E8400 or the Q6600!

I will NOT be overclocking as strange as it sounds , but i'm just gonna stick one in with the intel HSF and let it run, so which would you guys choose?

what do you plan to do with the computer? gaming? work? internet? videos?

Gaming, internet browsing and college work!

Also would like it to be long lasting, the thing is, will stock Q6600 outlive the Wolfdales or not?

What is the rest of your setup like? The 8200 will probably be fine, but if you have a high end graphics card, you may as well go for the Q6600 or Wolfdales (to make sure it is pushed enough).

I would personally go for the E8400, but that's just me.

Q6600 and overclock the pants off it

its easy

and you get more chicks that way....

For above uses, I would go for the E8400...

Right, cos i was looking at it and saw that the Q6600 is actually for this week only, cheaper than the e8400! As i said though, i would like something to last me a few years, but one that can handle such things like bioshock, COD4, Crysis, Supreme Commander, TR:A, ORange Box etc.

e8400 all the way
