Everyone is talking about how much cheaper the Q6600's will be but are all intel cpu's going to drop? Including E6600, and do you guys know to what price?
We will not know until the chips have been benchmarked but I think its fair to say that the Q6600 is a better option since Quad-Cores are starting to help more and more.
I would go with the q6600 over a e6850 since a program that only uses a a single or dual core probably wouldn't see much of a benefit from the higher clocks you would get out of the e6850. Plus more and more things will take advantage of quad core and you can multitask better.
Though I would like to know what kind of overclocks people will get from the q6600 and the e6850.
