Meh, they are both pretty good. I would pick the bottom one because it is a quad core, but they would probably end up performing very similarly in games. The only thing that I would mark both down are they only have 2 GB of ram.

Having previously owned a Q6600 I would recommend that you go with that over the E7400. If you were selecting the E8400 or E8500, I'd probably suggest you go with the Penryn, but the Q6600 is my preference out of what you've selected.

Get another 2GB of RAM, PC6400 (800Mhz) is fine, and go with the quad setup in my opinion.

is there a lot of difference between the 800mhz and the 1066mhz memory?
