The Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (95W) was a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in July 2007. It is part of the Core 2 Quad lineup, using the Kentsfield architecture with Socket 775. Core 2 Quad Q6600 (95W) has 8MB of L2 cache and operates at 2.4 GHz. Intel is building the Core 2 Quad Q6600 (95W) on a 65 nm production process using 582 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Core 2 Quad Q6600 (95W), which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 95 W, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 (95W) consumes a good deal of power, so decent cooling is needed. Intel's processor supports DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 memory with adual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the system, Core 2 Quad Q6600 (95W) uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card.
The SSE4 instruction set is not supported, which can cause problems with modern games, as they require that capability.
