Well on Ebuyer its £4 more for the Q6700 and I'm not going to overclock a lot. So was wondering whether it was worth just buying that.
If its only £4 more then there's no reason not to! Its basically the same chip apart from the Q6700 comes with a slightly higher clock speed at stock and the multiplier max is x10 rather than x9 of the Q6600 which gives you more options when overclocking.
For the sake of £4, you may as well! I'm wishing I had got the Q6700 now, the x10 multiplier may have been useful for overclocking(currently rocking 3.6GHz with no voltage increase) but I couldn't justify the £200-£300 premium as it was when I bought my quad. £4 is impressive now though!
Alright cheers. It's £155 OEM over £151 OEM, which I'd prefer to be honest so I can buy my own cooler and thermal paste.
I had a look at scan today, they have them for £137 and £143, if you're looking for the cheapest. Might be a 'today only' offer though.
Cheers, I'll have to check back on the 25th (18th Birthday) to see if it's still available due to the current lack of funds.
Does anybody know anything about the stepping on the q6700? i mean the q6600 has the G0 stepping, but what about the more senior model?? Im in the market for one in about 2 weeks when i get some money through, and noticed the price differenc e is absolutely tiny. Any answers out here? cheers
