I read a lot of reviews that Q6600 is much better compared to Q8200 regarding overclocking potential. I'm not yet sure if I'm going to overclock the CPU but in case I do I will just limit it to 3Ghz.El Gringo wrote:Hi,
Q6600 is old but still has more overclocking potential !!
(3.3Ghz on good air). FSB 266 and multiplier 9
Q8200 is new but no big overclockign potential (400x7 = 2.8Ghz)
because FSB = 333 and multiplier is only 7.

my PC:
Q6600@3Ghz with Zalman Cooler running rock stable for more than 1 year now
At stock speed the review says that Q6600 is still a little bit faster because of the higher Ghz and the higher cache.
The only drawback of the Q6600 based on what I read compared to the Q8200 is power consumption.
