If you have a q6600, as ive been saying all along, there is not reason to replace it with a penryn. I'm going to wait until nehalem gets a die shrink to 32nm and the boards/ddr3 are mature.
Has anyoen heard if the QX6850 will drop in price any when the QX9650 is released for sale? Since the 9650 is only around $1k. And the 6850 is the same >.> 1100$ at ncix -.-.
If it drops to 7-800 ish I might consider getting one later on XD
