Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor BX80562Q6600
With four execution cores, the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor blows through processor-intensive
tasks in demanding multitasking environments and makes the most of highly threaded
applications. Whether you're creating multimedia, annihilating your gaming enemies,
or running compute-intensive applications at one time, new quad-core processing
will change the way you do everything. Pioneer the new world of quad-core and
unleash the power of multithreading.
The Intel® Core™2 Quad processor is the latest in cutting
edge processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on the new Intel® Core™
microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor delivers four complete execution
cores within a single processor, delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness
in multi-threaded and multi-tasking business and home use environments.
The unprecedented performance of the Intel Core 2 Quad processor
is made possible by each of the four complete execution cores delivering the
full power of Intel Core microarchitecture. More instructions can be carried
out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly,
and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster. This quad-core
processor represents Intel’s continued leadership and drive of multi-core
processing and more parallel computing.
Doing More with Intel Quad-Core
The Intel Core 2 Quad processor is at the center of today’s most interactive
and content rich software experiences. The evolving set of threaded multi-media
applications, including digital content creation, will shine as users are able
to complete tasks faster. Game play can achieve even greater visualization and
realism as tasks such as artificial intelligence (AI), physics, and rendering
can be distributed across each of the four complete execution cores and run
in parallel.

I've had this processor for about a month now and I love it. Granted I came from a single core 3gig but wow, the potential of this thing is phenominal. The amount of overclock room on this thing is crazy. Some have gotten it to 3.9 stable with water cooling and the average for air cool is 3.6gigs. Thats amazing for the money you pay. Just remember if you buy this that the factory heatsink/fan is not very overclock helpful. I got it to run @2.6gigs prime 95 stable with it. I would deffinately recommnd this processor along with a high end cpu cooler.

This cpu is very good, I ran 2 video programs at the same time and looked at the performance in the w. task m. and the cpu usage was at its best of 4-7% and I just laugh and said wow this is a really great processor. Then I open nero and everyone knows it pulls cpu, at the same time and nothing much of a difference ...mmm lets say about 13%.
Now I recommend this for anyone who likes performance and smoothness.. oh forgot to mention all you need is a good video card for games its a breeze for madden 08, hitman, csi, any game i have put in GTA.. whatever its really good

I bought the HP Elite 9080n and this Quad core comes with it. All I have to say is I am HIGHLY IMPRESSED. It is very quick.

It's a real good processor for the money, and with good overclocking ability (mine's at 3.4GHz) but after the recent new release of Intel's new 45nm line on CPU's, I regret buying this, try to wiat about two weeks from now and them new CPU's will be here, and at a lower price, plus, the'll have a Q9550 for $249.99(it runs at 2.83GHZ) Save your money and some patience and you'll have a better CPU...
