Ok so just reading many reviews all over the place, I am still kind of deciding between the q6600 or e6850 from Intel. I will be using the computer for everything from internet browsing and photo/video editing to high-end gaming and everything in between. Some people said that old games would run very screwy on the Quad. Any thoughts on this?
Also, I read that there is a difference between the B3 and G0 stepping, and looking a bit into it. Turns out that they really are only different in the fact that the G0 generates a good amount less heat. I'm using the Antec 900 case with a 200 and 3 x 120mm fans, and I'll be doing very light OC'ing (just processor and MAYBE video card). If I get a B3 (50% chance to do so, apparently), will I still be OK? If it matters my PSU is 600 watts 38amps total on the 12v rails.
Thanks ahead of time.
