    Core 2 Extreme Q6700 comparison with the other familiy processor

    Intel launches Quad-Core processor, Core 2 Extreme Q6700, I am currently using Vista Ultimate64 for my gaming system, The comparable "new CPU" is the Core 2 Duo Quad Q6700, which the writer described as "really a multiplier-locked QX6700." So if that's all it is, why shouldn't I buy the older "Extreme" QX6700 (for roughly the same price)? What's better about the new chip? I do NOT overclock, so the unlocked multiplier is not a factor in my purchase decision.

    Earlier core 2 extreme was launched then Quad Q6700 has launched but the The QX6700 would be getting a huge price cut, to around $520. In other words, nearly exactly the same price as the Q6700. The Extreme is only worth it if your mainboard suffers from some Quad Core FSB limitations (like the first 680i revision or some mATX boards). If that's true, and the price is the same, which card is preferable? I will certainly get the Q6700 if the QX6700 is more, but if the price is the same, I'm not sure which is better.

    I Got The Q6700 Xtreme And Overclocked to 3.3 Mgz, I'm considering converting my desktop that I currently have as a server whenever I build my new Core i7 system, It looks like it has "Integrated PCI-X 64-bit Intel 10/100/1000 Gigabit4 Ethernet" This pc was given to me last week so I havent really looked into details of it, but I decided to use it as a server. But my friend has a system which is running on a Q6700extreme CPU, a ASUS Striker extreme MB and a 8800GTX, everything running stock.
