woudl worth it but if your motherboard is good Quality and ur ram are 800mhz
i heard you could oc to 3.2 Ghz ur Q6600 easy that would add as well fps. see this review Above
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core2quad-q9300_9.html#sect0
also 4870x2 worth someting. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3372&p=5

Cheers (^^) your 20,000 post one of the most uber poster on gamespot by number of post lol
IT OVER TWENTY THOUSAND!!!!! TWENTY Thousand!!! (vegetta) lol instead of nine thousand :-/
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/10/30/

back to topic X58 & nehalem Bloomfield shoudl be the only worhty upgrade from current CPU you can go GPu Already IF your motherboard support & psu to bear the waiting of X58 cause if You got a Q6600 there high chacne it P35 or P45. that should be enough to run 4870x2 maybe not CF tough. cause it X48 for CF but X58 will offer The Same Lanes. + DDR3 Triple channels
& some new good Feature From X58 Chipset with bloomfields or Intel core 7

That's what i mean, a quad right now is plenty fine, save your money for Nehalem. It's just a small upgrade, not even worth it IMO.

Have you heard the x58 motherboards are not to be ATX boards? I hadn't heard such a thing.

My B3 q6600 is ok but I cant push it over 3.5ghz even with watercooling. It just runs way to hot.

The max is 3.4ghz for Q6600 Architecture mean while Yorkfhield Q9300 is around 3.8ghz max. and Q9550 Theoriclay 4.0 or 4.2Ghz with water-cooling after that you fall into sub-zero overclocking & pure fish tank with pump for water rotations
it called mineral water overclocking. it different and i don't recommend much of it as it kinda not practiced allot and it get to void all ur warranty same for extreme overclocking of sub-zero it mostly go to void all ur warranty so it at ur risk.

The QX can go higher. like Q9750 But don't worth is moeny because even at realy high oc it not give more then 17fps extra in gaming for the big money. when nehalem is coming out and said to be aven a 350$ CPU ? defeat a QX9750 OC ? that just insane.

Not worth it, if you want a real upgrade get a Wolfdale and take it to 4.5ghz ;)

that hard xbox360 my friend ;) it called Sub ZerO Cooling . to try to get near that.
a q9550 can get around 3.8 Ghz Without Sub-Zero Overclocking. with good timing ram & motherboard mean for oc
but may require water-cooling it 320$ Cpu is siblin 500$ cpu Q9650 not Extreme. i wonder what differance
not much benchmark about it it would be nice to have benchmark of every cpu comparison the world would be at peace against de-information

I alway called them Thread creator :P since he make a thread into a forum wlel it all mean the same thing.
Original poster is sure a good thing to say usally i call it neither is name or the one who made topic. in my phrase.
when i speak to him as him self or show to everone how he is wrong. if that happen that the topic and I fight.
cant help that lol when you want to show him your so right about like benchmark and stuff. it go endless ;)
