    unstable

    I oced my Q6600 to 3.0 ghz and ran orthos and it was stable so i changed my memory timings to 4-4-4-12-2t at 2.1v. Now my computer locks up and freezes when the computer is idle. I ran orthos again last night and today my computer was off so i figured that the test failed. I'm going to change my...

    E6420 or E6600

    I was wondering if i should go with the E6420 or E6600. is it worth spending the additional $40 to get the E6600? Also, i am planning on OC them, but not hardcore. I would appreciate any advice on which one i should get. Thanks
