AMD3410 use that at newegg for $10 less

ZZF's is now $198.99, so $1 less then before...but for $190 newegg wins again. Too bad I bought from ZZF when it first hit $199, can't cancel it now, already, and they don't do pricematching.

These benchmarks are at stock speed. And the 940 will not see a 30-50% increase like the 6600 will.

The only reason I am comparing it to a 6600 and not a more modern intel chip is the cache amount.

Drop that into the CPU/Overclocking forum. I'm sure you'll get more of a response there, no point in discussing it here.

Not any more it's not. 3.3Ghz seems to be a comfortably attainable speed. The newer q6600 Quads apparently suck at OC'ing.
