More like 1-2 years. Time passes by quicker, the single core AMD's owned.

LOL, okay I will be getting the Q6600. But is there a large performance difference (just curious)?

q6600 faster,overclocks better but sucks more power thus releases more heat but definitely q6600 is the way to go

Dude, get what the hell you want, I have the q6600 and its fast, but so is the phenom 9750, not as fast mind you, but fast. I'd love to have the spider platform and a set of 4850's, you cant loose either way imo.

Watch out, the fanboys can flame you for that :P

but I agree, I can't find a reason to justify a phenom rigth now.

Q6600

However, AMD's Athlon 64X2 6400+ can preform surprisingly well in gaming, so it may be something to look into.

charrr1234

the 6400+ isn't a bad cpu, but if you take a cheapo c2d an have a little OC it's faster than the 6400+ (and it's also less than the $159.99 they take for the 6400+ on newegg)

Well if she's his girlfriend, then he has every right to keep it from us. But if he found her on a...google image search, then I think it's in his best interest to tell us. :lol:

If that's the member posting her own pic, then I think it's time for the universe to implode. :lol:

I haven't bothered checking in a long while, but I'd rather recommend people to go for the E8200 or E7200 over the 6400+.

The 6400+ is pretty much running at full capacity where as the Intel Core 2's have quite a lot of headroom for overclocking.

True a E8200 can be OC To 3.4Ghz Safety as i heard off
i even heard so tough the E8400 can be oc 4.0 ghz with voltage playing but it reduce Latency of Ram and stuff but worth it
while i heard e8500 = 4.0 ghz without playing with voltage so what with E8600 incoming this Summer August
or September with 3.3based ghz instead of 3.16ghz ? 4.2Ghz without play with voltage?

so is the E8200 better than a Q6600, or does it score higher because games haven't really been optimized for quad-core processors?

E8200 is better at stock speeds and much better after ocing than the Q6600 in applications which are not quad core efficient.

i would recomend the Q6600 because if you ever want to backup your music(from CD's),or DVD's, ripping them and compressing, and stuff of that nature will be much faster, but that is the same with any quad core

An E8200 is faster clock for clock than the Q6600 so no a 3Ghz Q6600 wont beat a 3Ghz E8200:|.Besides what's the deal with this?The E8200 will go to 3.8Ghz or something on a budget rig so compare that to a 3Ghz Q6600.

yeah it will, except for single threaded apps, there the 8200 wins, and the Q6600 (mine) is at 3 ghz cuz i want it to, but i can take it to 3.6 if i want to...

how can a Q6600 be faster clock for clock than the 9300 if the 8200 is faster than the Q6600 clock for clock? :? im confused now, u say that the E8200 is better c for c, but the 9300 isnt? thats bull**** mate, GTFO

how can i be clueless after 3 years of workin with computers?

oh yes, this is the guy that is in lvl 5 with 132 posts, vs the guy in lvl 20 with >1500 posts (over 1000 of those were made in pc hardware) i kno what im talkin bout here

Ya level and posts now matter?Is that your comeback just sad.:lol:

The E8200 has 6MB per 2 cores cache,the Q6600 has 4MB per 2 cores cache,the Q9300 has 3MB per 2 cores cache.

No you didnt know what you were saying.

And you can take your Q6600 to 3.6Ghz?Do you have a budget rig?What are you waiting for?

The fact that you didnt mention your motherboard to the answer of my question pretty much confirms that you dont know much......

And ya your Q6600 is 100% stable at 3.6?I can bet it isnt with that cooler regardless of the motherboard.

Can we cut the net fights? I thought the thread was perfectly fine when we talking about that chic. :P

A Q6600 is faster than an E8400 in multithreaded apps, even at stock speeds. But the E8400 is faster in applications that do not use more than 2 cores.

Also, let me put it this way; Penryn is faster then Conroe, clock for clock.

No dude.Both are equal clock for clock.It's all about the cache.And Q6600 is faster clock for clock than Q9300.
