Intel?Core%26trade;2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB) video card:
512MB Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT
or
Dual 256MB nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS Which one is better in terms of gaming?? Which one makes gaming better??
Right now in gaming the E6850 will beat the Q6600, as most games are only optimised for Dual-Core at best.And I'd go for the single 8800GT.SLI's increase varies per game, so in some you may get double, and in others you may get very little performance gain.Which one makes gaming better??
if you can wait just for 1 week, you can get the new E8400 for even cheaper than E6850 and for sure both arent even comparable.
For the video card SLI mid-range-cards doesnt meant at all same performace as 1 high-end-card. 8800GT beats 8600GT SLI easily and you cant even think about it.
If you want to get 2 cards. Get 2 X 3870s. 3870 in crossfire > 8800GT in SLIIt's cheaper too.

E8400+8800GT would be the best choice
Are you building a new rig or just upgrading the CPU?
