Q6600 is a great cpu if you oc it.
Get it if you edit video/images/sound, work with cad or 3d etc etc etc

Get 8400 otherwise.

well i can get a good deal on a e7200.  what do you guys think of that.  reviews look good.  but would an e8400 be that much better.  just want something that will blow the e6400 out.

well i got the e8400.  overclocked it to 4.0 and it was all stable, then i upgraded to vista 64 and it wont go to 4.0 stable anymore.  also i found out the p5k board i have must have a short around the cpu cause it you push on the artic cooler at all it resets and i have to keep one of the pegs unlocked or it wont boot.  i really think it is time to go to a x48 board but they are all to high still.  is there anythign that anyone can tell me to help me out.  should burn in time be an issue to overclocking.  i am really getting frustrated.  any help would be great.

p35 solid, and cheap.

Vista should have nothing to do with your OC.

And afterwards he comes home, and he sees that whatever else he may do with his life - build a house, love a woman, change his son's diaper - he will always remain a jarhead. And all the jarheads killing and dying, they will always be me. We are still in the desert.
