I'm thinking about upgrading my computer to a Intel quad core but cant decide on which to get. The Q6600 and Q8200 are both $189 on newegg. Ive read up on them and the jist of what Ive found is the Q8200 is quieter and cooler with a smaller cache but has almost no performance difference unless your planning on over clocking (which i doubt ill do).
Which CPU would you pick and why without factoring in OCing, or is there another better CPU in the same relative price range that has a performance difference worth mentioning?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
