Yikes, you guys couldn't be more right. I installed the E8400 and my board wanted to run it defualt at multiplier 6. (?) I just cranked it up to 3.6 ghz and ran 3DMark06 and it runs at 13,878 vs 17,403 for the Q6700 at 3.33ghz. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, I'm thinking that Futuremark is a little goofy because, in terms of running programs form the desktop and program access?save and audio/video processing this fricken CPU is blazing fast. Did I say blazing fast. I ran Crysis and it actually ran somother than wiht the Q6700. Crysis was gltichless/lagless at high setting all the way around. However, it's running a 67 degrees (wayyy to hot!!!) so I'm going to lap my Artic pro and reseat it...I think I got into a hurry!! Suggestions for another CPU cooler??
