would it be silly

[ozzyDe]

would it be silly to sell my Q6600 that runs happily @ 3.4ghz my abit ip35pro crossfire MB and the 8gig of ram so I could then go over to AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 965 Black Edition 3.40GHz (Socket AM3) Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 AMD 880G and Corsair 4GB (2X2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit
Or just keep what I have until prices come down.

I use my PC mostly for games these days I do some home video editing and some database testing, but I have another pc for that kind of stuff,
there is so much out there I wonder if the q6600 has been left way behind.
Thanks

keep what you got, wait for a bigger leap in performance.

 

[bells]

Wait

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Yes it would be

 

[QlimaxUK]

yes that would be silly

 

[easyrider]

It wouldn't even be an upgrade

 

[ozzyDe]

OK got the idea,, it was a silly question I no, but just needed to have peace of mind.
Thanks Guys lol

I'm not planning top change my Q6600 until (cheap) Octocores are out, it's that good.

 

[Redmint]

Yep the Q6600 really was ahead of its time in a way, it'll probably end up being one of the longest lifespan gaming CPUs for quite a while.

Id definatley say wait until you want a bigger perfomance increase. Unless money isnt an issue in which case go for it

 

[sambot]

why did u want to make the change?

if it was for usb 3 or sata 6gbs then you could buy a controller card to do this

apart from that or the ddr3 ram i cant see why u would want to change!

 

[Mr Krugga]

Most games are GPU dependant, if you want to boost their performance, upgrade your graphics card.

 

[ozzyDe]

well it was not so much for me I jsut wanted to no, the problem is my father pc is an abit ip35 with 4gig sli and Dual-Core "LGA775 Core 2 2.2ghz it is a Exxxx not sure
when I bought my q6600 from ocuk £140 my fathers proc was under £100 so would the ungrade to AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 965 Black Edition 3.40GHz (Socket AM3) Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 AMD 880G and Corsair 4GB (2X2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit be worth it

 

[Dazza_Random]

Wow my Q6600 was really as good as i though it was when i bought it

 

[Ordokai]

Very silly

In most cases Phenom 2 performs about the same clock for clock as the Q6600...so as stated, it wouldn't even be an upgrade.
