I'd just like to say....again....that Quad Core is awesome

[Clunk]

4.2GHz seems more like a suicide shot then a 24/7 usable clock (I know my G0 took too many volts to get over 4GHz)....Would be sweet if it is 24/7 stable though

It is a suicide shot, the Highest stable so far is below. The volts are high, but the temps are surprisingly good, theres more yet I reckon

If you do video editting/encoding and 3d graphics works etc...it makes a nice difference!

Are we talking 3DS MAX here? I'm going to be using this alot soon and I'm having an E6750 vs Q6600 conundrum.

3DS Max has been leveraging multiple CPU cores before dual-core was even a wink in an Intel engineers eye. So yes, a Q6600 will make a dramatical difference in rendering times.

Depends if you do multi core stuff like distributed computing (folding, boinc, seti etc). But I'm pretty sure Zak's found other benefits as well...

i have..it's amazing. With 4 gig of ram I can do anything.....while doing anything else!

I had Lineage2 running, (trading in the marketplace) and had Moviemaker making a movie that was 15 mniutes long, and so decided to boot Il-2 1946 up and run a few practive missions...and it was smooth as silk!

Unreal power.

As an E6600 owner, I can safely say, I am very jealous :C
