But what is the default voltage for a Q6600 ? i tought it was 1.25, but here it's written it's 1.372 V http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=22211&vpn=BX80562Q6600&manufacture=Intel

So, if we must not exceed 1.40/1.50 when we overclock, what is the default voltage ?

My life have changed since i discovered this : http://www.extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp

click extreme power supply calculator, and then click Lite version, have fun.

wait, in step 1, where i must select single socket / dual sockets / quad sockets,must i select quad socket for a core 2quad Q6600 ? I mean, Does a Q6600 = 4 cores or 4 physical CPU ?

yea i know, my knowledge in PCs is low. .. . . but thx for help

Nice tool. But im afraid my new PC will be underpowered !! Im getting next week a Q6600 + 8800GT + p5k-e + 2b ram. The guy who's building my PC told me a good quality powersupply @ 500w would be enough.

Should i order a more powerful Power supply ?

Hein ? you had COD for 4 years, and you NEVER played it ? You missed all thoses great years of Multiplayers COD, COD:UO and COD2 ?

Anyway, COD is great, you like it ? well you MUST play COD:united ofensive, COD2 and COD4 of course. Single player player of COD2 is even better than the single player of the original COD, in my opinion.

lol, yea, im SO afraid Microsoft/the police will get my e-mail/ip adress and punish me !!!!

Great, thx, i feel at ease now ! The guy who's building my PC (i never learned how to do it myself...and i should ) told me it was useless to run a Q6600 with XP, cause XP doesn't use all the cores. I was trusting him, he got his own little PC company ( i know him through my father ) and he always made me good PCs,for low prices, and i never got any probs.

Anyway, i got XP pro ( and i never paid for it ), but apparently, Vista is impossible to pirate. Im glad to hear Xp pro use all the 4 cores on a Q6600. I want to play Crysis, so the Q6600 will run it better than a E6850. . ...

Getting a new PC, i choose the Q6600 over the E6850 cause they are the same price. BUT, i don't want to switch to vista yet, i want to stick to XP as long as possible, even if i know XP doesn't support the Quad 6600. I'll probably switch to vista in 1 year or so.

So, is it useless to runa Q6600 with XP ? does XP will run the Q6600 as if it was a dual core ? Like it will use two of the core @ 2.40 GHZ, and the two otherrs will remain unused ?

Vista is killing you. You need at least 4-5 go of ram to run that **** while gaming.

Vista is just pure useless ****
