If you do photoshop video encoding or use other multithreaded apps go with:

Q6600 or Q9450 if you got the money

For gaming:

E8400

From what I've read the Q9450 will be phased out and will be replaced by the Q9400 at $266 come this fall.

At any rate i was reading that the 2.66ghz bloomfields might be in stores this september for around $284, but who knows, decisions....decisions....

In the review jeff says that the game is not worth buying so, i'll torrent it, piss on it and then i'll burn it. This will be my last post on this corrupted website.
