    I have HP Compaq dc7900 with E8400/3MHZ CPU. I could just replace CPU with E8600 and gain 10% speed,
    but I need 4 cores. Unfortunately these Quads have lower frequency what affects single core applications.

    So I want to get some 4 core and overclock it with tape modding (OEM HP motherboard locks other options)

    I would like a moderate number, something between 3.2 or 3.4 would be optimal and not less than 3.0

    I have opportunity to get cheaply various models, Q6600, Q8400, Q9500, Q9650 and others.

    Please help me with your expertise.
