Yeah good.... First u dnt go for Q6600..Its a crap
Barclays got Q9450 or 9550...Bt they hav their damn old prices...
cuz they bought them before Intel's price drop... so its around 40000\=
Bt Core i7 920 36000 in Unity....(Q9550 + Amazing memory bandwith... )
Shop is in front of the Barclays...They hav a demonstration System & I worked with it... Bt when u go for a i7 u might hav big problems with Motherboard & memory....Cuz they hav a crap Intel DX58 cheap motherboad & Tri-Chennel memory kit....
So wot u gonna do....?

thanks for the great explanation!!! its really worth if i can buy a X58 system. if im gonna build the X58 system, then it seems like i will have to import the X58 MB and the DDR3 ram... should give a try.. cos the core 2 duo is being outdated at this time!

Q6600 is not a 45 nm processor. that means it takes more electricity and less efficient. go for 45 nm processors like Q9000 series or buy a q8200 and overclock it.
