Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

Bought this as part of a media PC, an Acer Aspire E700 back in 2007. It has worked flawlessly since then and has managed to run games like Oblivion perfectly with a little hyperthread tweaking in the said games .ini file. It is perfect for a media computer and was definately worth it in a £700 package computer. I have heard it is good for a bit of OCing so Imma try that now.

Summary: Was brill as part as a package media computer, perfect for multi tasking and is above average for games of this year.

What are you people on about, I have had my mine running at 3.4Ghz for about 4 months now on a X38-DQ6 mb with no problems at all using a thermaltake copper finned cooler.

this chip is magic charm i bought a computer with ine of this init
and after two months went bought this chip and made a media(bluray-read and write)rigg very nice this chip had a whip in its hand love it love it

I am loving this CPU too much. Worked right out of the box, I over-clocked it to a stable 3.0GHz with no problem. I've had for quite some time, and I can tell you that it's worth the money 100%. Great for multi-tasking, video-editing and gaming.

G0 Stepping is amazing. Overclock to 3.07 on a stock like heatsink. One of the best in multitasking. You will never max out this processor.

SLACR G0 stepping....

Very nice CPU, strong and well suited for multitasking. Makes video work with ConvertXtoDVD, DVD Flick, DVD Shrink and DVD Rebuilder a breeze.
