I think that's terrible advice.

qx6700, 2.66ghz, 2 x4mb cache --> $970
q6600, 2.4ghz, 2 x 4mb cache --> $541

have fun wasting $429 on 266mhz...and even more if you seriously plan on getting the qx6800

you had me wondering so i started searching.. i can't find in anywhere! not even on pricegrabber.com

so i looked around on google and found this article
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=38710

this is the confusing part, it says:
So in the end you are less than a week away from a hot and scarce part.
and it also says:
The real QX6800s will come out in Q3

I'm waiting on the Yorkfield quad processor. should be a huge improvement....also...this allows time to see what AMD has to offer too. There isn't a need for quad-processing at this very moment.

my understanding is that the xeon processors are for servers??? :shock:



and will not go into a nforce 680i board so ?


that really doesnt answer my question?

when will core 2 quads be coming out with a 1333fsb as standard? as on the box of my 680i board it says it supports cpu's with a 1333fsb?

note my processor now is running higher than that (1400fsb) but thats overclocked, but i imagine the core 2 quads with a 1333fsb as standard will overclock mad... :drinkers:
