I was stuck in the same situation as you a while ago, but seriously, GET THE Q6600!!!!!!
It is awesome, 4 cores!!!!
Re: What cpu for gaming E6750, E6850 or Q6600
if you are considering the Q6600, seems money is not a problem...go for it
Re: What cpu for gaming E6750, E6850 or Q6600
Q6600 (G0, ideally :)) for the win.....
Re: What cpu for gaming E6750, E6850 or Q6600
The Q6600 seems to be the cpu of choice at the moment, i mean who doesn't wan't 4 cores? If you want to save £50 then get the E6750, perfectlly capable of running all and any games, gpu performace is by far the biggest limiting factor at the moment.

The cost difference, combined with a plethora of up-coming games being very multi-threaded, means the Q6600 is starting to shine for gamers :)

Q6600 + a trivial to perform overclock of 25% to 3GHz. Then you'll have the equivalent of the fastest intel chip on the market. :) Not bad for ~£160!

QFT, atm the Q6600 is where the smart money is in price:performance.

Just played Unreal Tournament 3 demo, runs perfect on my Q6600 @ 3.0ghz. Aswell as other games like Bioshock and Lost Planet.
Q6600 for sure!
Re: What cpu for gaming E6750, E6850 or Q6600
another vote for q6600 here :)
Re: What cpu for gaming E6750, E6850 or Q6600
right now for the price, the q6600 cant be beat! they also overclock GREAT! Get the G0 stepping and go!

UT3 runs perfect on my humble E6320, it isn't as resource hungry as I expected. Bioshock and World in Conflict seem to strain it more though. So a Q6600 would sort that out.

bioshock runs really nicely on my e6300 overclocked to 2.8ghz
