eek · 16th Jul 2007, 12:22

"mamamia"..... tasty......

I'll be getting that quad core, especially for Crysis

Anyone want to buy a Core2Duo E6600 perchance?

dragontail · 16th Jul 2007, 13:16

that Q6600 for £150 sure looks tempting... especially for those on the first gen C2Ds looking for a quick update...

atanum141 · 16th Jul 2007, 14:06

Has anyone attempted any quadcore OC'ing?
whats the results like?

DarkLord7854 · 16th Jul 2007, 14:09

Now to figure out what to do with my E6300...

yakyb · 16th Jul 2007, 14:09

yeah im holding out for the x38 chipset tho and a greater chance of picking up a G0 stepping or Penryn if that comes out by then

besides i doubt whether the current set of GPUS will run crysis at DX10 to acceptable levels so maybe hold out for the 9800 December right?

we will see but what im basically saying is im not buying anything until i see some benchmarks tho for both crysis and Unreal 3

culley · 16th Jul 2007, 14:31

Yep i'm deffiently going to be buying the Q6600.

The_Beast · 16th Jul 2007, 15:09

I really want to get a E6750 or a Q6600

i agree.

KMS-oul · 16th Jul 2007, 16:12

Q6600 for 150!.....sweet. I'll take one please.

BoomAM · 16th Jul 2007, 17:34

Where are selling at £150 then? Or is that before VAT?

lamboman · 16th Jul 2007, 17:38

Good luck AMD, you better come up with something really good.

This is great! Bargain.

BoomAM: It said 22nd. Most stores will reduce the price earlier, when the next stock comes in.

will. · 16th Jul 2007, 18:35

Lets all hope that there are some silly people on ebay.....

hahaha, of course there are silly people on ebay! What am I thinking! Now! The challenge is; can you sell your old one for more than your buying your new one!

Amon · 16th Jul 2007, 19:11

I don't know many others who also strictly use AMD, but I'm starting to get a bit nervous for them now. I've got a stack of nearly $20,000 for them right now, but no Phenom FX...

some, and its pretty much the same as for the C2Ds

they do put out more heat at the same clocks (expected) so better cooling is needed.

mardukph · 17th Jul 2007, 06:36

Damn that Q6600 looks very tempting indeed.

Delphium · 17th Jul 2007, 07:42

£150 for Q6600 *looks forward to the 22nd.
