An overclocked Q6600 will still be faster than nearly any stock CPU at this point...
This. I had AW in the back of my mind when opting for a quad instead of a duo, but my primary concern was how kickass the G0 Q6600 was at OC'ing. I usually just sit around 3.0 because it's absurdly easy/stable/cold. Why not pay a bit extra for a chip that will run 25% faster without breaking a sweat?
The Q6600 is still a beast there is no arguing that. The enxt logically upgrade in my mind for the Q6600 is a I7 or I9.
Without a doubt. I bought this Q6600 in Nov .. '07? And I still have absolutely no reason to be looking for a processor upgrade. Given, I don't play many PC games anymore (lack of time, not lack of desire

), but my machine still handles everything I throw at it just fine. Of course, I did update the graphics card.. but it's hardly being truly CPU bottlenecked.
