1.Is Q9300 best value for money? Or is it still Q6600?

2.Do single cpu engines function well in tournaments without any problems in Quad?

3. How do I overclock? Do you have any useful links? there are so many links i can't seem to know which one is good.

4. Should i choose Xp 64 bits or Vista?

Thanks in advance.

I am surprised that your answer to the second question is no

I thought it was single vs quad.

Whether the engines using only one cpu can be run on quads without problems
I guess yes,but to speak the truth the question is misleading with it's simplicity
