the thing you have to watch for with the q6600 is the new stepping. I'm not quite sure when it was supposed to come out, but in my head I was thinking it was coming with the 1333fsb cpu's. The new stepping was 95 TDP, and could go like 9c higher if I remember right. The point is, these q6600's are basically guaranteed to be the older stepping, which besides the mobo not wanted to oc, those chips weren't big on it either. I myself am going to get an e6750 because it's better for most tasks right now, not to mention 80$ cheaper.
