I dunno, even some of the newish ones i had would do 3.2ghz with no effort a all, basically a slight voltage tweak would do it. But agreed, i dont think its worth the upgrade, just settle ofr a new card and wait for a i5 system.Well, depending on how old or new the q6600 is, it could probably crap at around 3.0ghz, and the Phenom II 940 will do 3.7-3.8ghz with a good cooler, plus its faster than the q6600 clock per clock; but I agree that its not worth buying the Phenom II 940 regardless of how good it is.
I say wait for Core i5, which I think comes out in a few weeks right?
