While Intel has done very dirty practices, it's the consumer who wins with better competition and lower prices. It's a corporation that's here to make money off of you so you might as well get the best performance for your dollar. Look at this way, thank AMD for pushing Intel to make the C2D and thank Intel for pushing the envelope and forcing AMD to up the ante.

I will probably be upgrading when the penryn quads come out and if they are any good than i will get that instead but if they want 500 bucks for them then they can kiss my cheap arse and im getting a core 2 duo quad.

So are you planning to replace your E4400 with it and overclock it?

I'm going to put this E4400 into another rig (which currently has my old Pentium D). ;)

Then, I MIGHT overclock the Q6600, but I see little need to. :/
