The choices are: 1) Q6600 2) Q9400 3) Q9550 4)Q9650
Now, I do alot of encoding and some gaming. I currently have an E4600 @ 2.65GHz so the two extra cores would be a great addition. Here's the catch: I want 3GHz or above and I want it stable and cool. I've selected the Zalman CNPS9700NT as my cooler. So I guess my question is, which chip would be the best route to go for a cheap quad core and an oc of 3GHz?
