So I was thinking of selling my current CPU (e6600) to a mate of mine and investing in a quad core, but looking @ Q6600 and QX6700 I was nearly knocked over at their price difference. Now between e6600 and e6700 there was like $100 Australian more, but this was from $700 to nearly double that, $1370 or something. Q6600 is 2.4 and QX6700 is 2.66, but I'm just wondering, does the Xtreme actually mean anything or is it basically intel saying that this is their top end stuff. as if quad core wasnt already top end enough, ahha, so yeha, is there a MASSIVE difference between these 2 CPUs that justifies the near 100% price increase? I'm sure the extra 266mhz would do wonders on a quad core, so that may justify another $200, but $700!? There gotta be something more to it? amirite?
