Hey guys,
I recently "stumbled" into some excess scholarship money that I can spend (as long as it's school related I'm ok. PC is school related in my book. ). I was thinking of picking up a Q6600 from microcenter while they have them for $200. Do you think thats a good idea or should I wait for E8400's to become more popular (and easier to find)? The most demanding things I do are crysis and heavy researching (i.e. multiple firefox, word, excel windows and of course music then theres the DVD backups). I'm planning on passing along my E4300 to my parents. BTW, how CPU demanding is crysis? will I see much of a change in FPS with an OC'd 6600 with my 8800gts?
I will likely be keeping my current cooler to OC a bit: Rosewill RCX-Z3
