Core 2 Quad 6600

My recent purcahse of an Intel Core 2 Quad 6600 has been a wise purchase. To quickly 'shoo away' the white elephant in the room, no the Q6600 is nowhere near the realm of the much faster (and MUCH more expensive!) Core 2 Quad Extreme. Using the Q6600 as the CPU for my built from scratch computer system, the Core 2 Q6600 continues Intel's grand tradition of 'best bang for the buck' CPUs. The CPU's speed is very fast, fits the Intel 775 Socket on my new motheboard; I went with the EVGA SLI-Ready 680i and 4 megabytes of Patriot DDR 2-800mz memory.
The instalation was as easy as ever and after even layer of thermal grease later I was more than good to go.
The Core 2 Quad 6600 is your best choice if you cant afford the Core 2 Quad Extreme ($800.00 to $900.00 depending on where you look) or are simply looking to keeping the cost of a new CPU down as much as possible ($800.00 to $900.00 depending on where you look). With 8M of L2 cache, it has more than enough external cache to keep your system running smooth and reliably. The Core 2 Quad Q6600 was a great choice for a Quad Core CPU and one that will keep me on Intel's dise in the ongoing CPU war.

Good reason for come back to Intel....

Incredible performance, it beat over 10k points in 3Dmark06, I have been AMD user for about 6 years, my last Intel was a Pentium III 550Mhz. LOL, but this processor model has a really intersting relation price/performance in comparision with AMD Phenom processors, I upgrade from a AMD X2 4400+ 939, and theres a huge difference in games like Crysis, Call of Duty 4, the new ones.
The LGA 775 chip its a nice idea, processor without pins, nice and secure system, more realiable than the conventional processors wich have the small pins that could be broken.

Great Product

Most people would save the $50 and go with an OEM. I basically tossed the fan that came with it in the corner and went with the ChillTec. I purchased the retail (Fan) vs oem (no fan) because of the warranty. With the retail (this product) you get the 3 year (36 months) warranty with the OEM product you don't. So for $50 more I will cover that base.

Make sure you get the G0 and not a model before it.

Intel has announced they will be making another $250 Quad core product the 9300 so I have no idea which is better between those.

Fantastic

I upgraded from an Intel Core 2 Duo, and can I ever see the difference. Great upgrade.
