wait for wolfdale chips. they will be out soon.Which of these processors is the better ...
tough one! I was contemplating that very issue last night. I think the quad core is better all around but the difference between the two as far as gaming is negligible.
the faster CPU is the E6850 it willl beat the Q6600 in nearly all benchmrks and games the only ones which it wont beat it in are the well mulithreaded apps like sony vegas... but i would go for the Q6600 as its better for multitasking...
[QUOTE=''rassclart'']I buying a new pc and have a choice of 2 processors to get. Intel?CoreTM 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40Ghz, 8MB Cache, 1066Mhz FSB) Intel?CoreTM 2 Duo E6850 (3.00Ghz, 4MB Cache, 1333Mhz FSB)So which one is the better one because they both have the same price tag ?[/QUOTE]As of right now , maybe the core 2 duo(a 3.0 core 2 duo is awesome...I only have a x2 4200...at 2.2), but in the long run, the quad, especially if you plan to overclock it...I could be wrong though, wait for someone who'd know more than me...
you will always be able to wait for the next thing to come out. fact is, you buy the best today and in six months they stop carrying it at frys cause its so old...maybe a little exagerated but a new tech proc running on an immature northbridge with 1st gen boards doesnt appeal to me.
Neither.Get the E8400.$100 cheaper than both of those and better.
ok then im leaning towards the quad core but there is one last processor i could possibly get and that is the AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition AM2 Dual Core 3.20GHz Is one any better?

I really need a verdict on this AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition AM2 Dual Core 3.20GHz Is it better than these Intel?CoreTM 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40Ghz, 8MB Cache, 1066Mhz FSB) Intel?CoreTM 2 Duo E6850 (3.00Ghz, 4MB Cache, 1333Mhz FSB)
GET THIS!!!!http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037%26Tpk=e8400
I myself got an E8400 yesterday for $190. It isn't nearly as attractive at today's prices, but it's still a great CPU if you don't do a ton of multitasking and are going to be overclocking.

I didn't think so. This chip can overclock to 4.0ghz easily on air, 4.5ghz if you really want to push it or want to benchmark.
Check out the results people are getting already.http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=544212
wow didnt know the wolfdale chips were at newegg now, they need to update their search to add them, overpriced though too...
