so ima upgrade my rig one more time before building a new one and was wondering is the q6600 worth it if your not ocing (prolly gonna grab a used one off the forums). i was looking at a q8400 for 150$ at the local compusa but my board down clocks memory when using 1333 fsb chips. I just cant play anything with this e5200 even at 3ghz games lag i know its the cpu cause when i run it at stock it lags WAY more. I see that ppl with similar setups getting way better performance with better cpus. I was gonna OC and i might a tad but nothing like the 3ghz+ q6600s i see all time.
