Quad-Core Performance for a Great PriceStrengths: 1) 4 cores 2) Price 3) G0 Steppings have somewhat less power consumption than their predecessors Weakness: 1) Still expensive compared to other Intel offerings 2) Not everyone can use the 4 cores This is a wonderful processor for those who are looking for some serious power. Most games will take advantage of only 2 of the 4 cores, so the only places the quad core processor will give more are in OSs and apps written to take advantage of 4 cores. My main use for quad-core power is video encoding, which gets a great boost from the two extra cores. Future games and applications will...

Awesome CPUStrengths: VERY Fast - great value for the money. Very strong at multi-tasking. Weakness: Few applications utilize all four cores. The Q6600 is an AWESOME processor and a great value for the money. If you were considering a 2.4 Dual Core, don't bother... with the recent price drop the Q6600 quad core is only about $50.00 more expensive, and has much more potential with future applications I bought the Q6600 for my new gaming rig, and I've been very impressed with the performance. I've been especially happy with its ability...

QUAD CORE 2.4 GHZStrengths: 4 Processors... so multi tasking is easy, it works faster then you can depending on what you are multitasking Weakness: Heats up, so you would need something better then what it comes with for cooling if you plan on OCing I like it, I didn't OC it since I don't really need to. Try to get the processor with G0 stepping since it takes less energy and heats up less than the one I got. Overall I love it, works well with Vista premium and XP.

Great bang for the buck!Strengths: Fantastic value for a quad-core; 3-year warranty; stock fan should work for non-overclocked Weakness: Limited motherboard support I upgraded from an Intel Core2 Duo E6600 CPU once the recent price-drops kicked in. What an unbelievable price for a quad-core CPU!! Bravo, Intel, on making quad core CPU available to the masses at under $300 (pretty much a 50% price cut). While I obviously don't notice any performance differences for web-surfing, email, etc. I do notice a difference while using both Adobe Photoshop Elements &...

Great cpuStrengths: Definitely a great buy. All the power for a cheap price. Future proof Weakness: Runs hot if you do not take precautions I paired my q6600 with an asus p5kc and 2 gigs of high speed ram and the 8800 gtx! Some advice, I also bought an asus arctic silent square heatsink, and I have not seen the temperature pass 42 degrees

EXCELLENT Performance at a Decent PriceStrengths: Performs very will in applications that are multi-threaded. Weakness: Runs significantly hotter than Dual-Core CPUs Purchased this CPU in a motherboard combo from Fry's for a total price of $299. On an ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe motherboard I was able to obtain a 3.1GHz STABLE overclock (3.3GHz would boot, but was not stable). This is with a SL9UM stepping processor. In approximately 2 months, SLACR stepping chips should be out and preliminary results indicate they will overclock well. At the current price of ~$275,...

Best CPU yetStrengths: fast, easy to install and works with win XP home Weakness: price - but this is the latest and greatest This thing is so fast it’s hard to measure. I will benchmark later. The nice thing is this is somewhat future proof. A year or two from now this will make a great file server CPU. Many games and applications already use multi cores so this quad core just makes it better. This is the best you can get right now. If your building your own PC, skip the dual core and go quad.

You want WOW ....... you found it!Strengths: This cpu runs extremely cool when overclocked WITHOUT a "TWO POUNDER" cooler hanging on your cpu. Weakness: None technically. Now we need new apps taking advantage of the four cpu power this chip has. We need a user selectable dedication of each cpu to a defined task. Running stock Intel cooler staying within adjustable limits and hiting 3600mhz operational stable speed. Cools at 37C idle, 51C max normal load, 61C stress load. Use a good cooling case like the Smilodon.

Core 2 Quad Q6600Strengths: Overclocks, fast Weakness: Stock hsf I patiently or i should say impatiently waited for the price drop, then I paired the Q6600 (G0) with the P-35 DS3R motherboard and so far so good. Recommend the newer G0; SLACR stepping as the TPF is 95watts instead of 105 watts in the B3, SL9UM stepping. Now you can multi-task to your heart's content. Great performance.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 review
Hot on the heels of the Core 2 Duo launch, Intel came out and released the world’s first quad-core desktop processor last November. Given how powerful the Core 2 Duo had proven to be, we wondered how much of a performance gain this new quad-core version could offer. TopAdvertisement

Great processor for the price.
Strengths: Quad-core power!!! G0 stepping runs very cool. Cores remain stable even under load. Good performance for the price.
Weakness: G0 stepping not guaranteed from some retailers. Penryn CPUs may offer better value when released next month.
There's not too much left to say about this processor. It's fast, stable, and a great value for the price. The only real caveat is that the new G0 stepping cannot be guaranteed from some online resellers.
