u can't overclock the q6600 easily past 3GHz on the stock cooler.
but you can do 3.6GHz easily with E8400 with stock cooling.

at that speed, it will still be a little slower than a stock q6600 in premiere, but only premiere. in every other respect, it will faster.

go with the q6600 if you want, but don't go with the 9400gt!!!
