iim upgrading in about 2 months, my system is so outdated but i havn't had the money, then i won't be upgrading for about 1.5 years. well i might get a new quad core thats about it.
who cares if it overclocks better, Quad-Core is the way of the future, and since you can get a q6600 for $200 from Microcenter, I say forget the e8400 ever existed
also to show you how much the q6600 has in bang for the buck, you should also consider the Cost per Core, and I think the q6600 would win by a decent rate
