Frosty is coming back from Vacation soon and he's gonna be gunning for me.
Mwave seemed to have the best price and had this in stock Q6600.
So Welcome back Frosty.

The 4MB one is actually just the regular E6600
Where the 8MB one is a quad core (Q6600).

You better watch out. When the Frosty one gets back and see's what you have been up to he's going to come gunning for you.

According to the last DT article the Q6400 was canceled. I think the $266 Q6600 next quarter is a satisfactory replacement for it.
