i heard theres a bad batch out. Does that mean i should go with something else, I wont be building my new system for 2 months so would a new batch come out by then?
If you won't be building for another two months then I m guessing that Vernong will opt you to get a Q6700 by then. Just because the price will have lowered a bit and be in your price range by then.

That's right either than or a Q9550 or something..
I think I'll make a thing explaining why... but here it is plain and simple:
"Most new Q6600's are just failure overclocker's due to crappy, cheap batches that can't push 3.0ghz on freaking stock or even 3.6ghz without putting dangerous voltage into it. "
The Q660 is an oldish quad core chip, in bench marking it gets beat by some dual cores (correct?) However if you're running games and looking for a budget syyem to suit your needs and wanting to build soon then the Q660 is a good chip but it's recomended to wait (yes we all know it's tough) for the latest and best thing
