and lordofla, the q6700 has been available for 6 months or so now.
I did think that orgionally, hence started this thread it all depends on how much games will use multi-threading I guess. Still with the quad core you get a free copy of Supream commander ! (shame I already have it)

Q6700 has only been available in the UK recently. Previously it was only the QX6700.

Q6600 is down to 299 (or less) in many places.

Fyi.

The OCuk price does actually reflect the price drop apparently, but just wait and see I guess.

thank god the q6700 hasn't dropped in price at all i bought it for i think $1000 four months ago or so, its $970 now, sorry, just didn't want to think i could've waited for a better deal, but wierdly enough, when this processor first came on the market 4 or 5 months ago, it was priced at $1500, i waited 3 weeks and it dropped $500.
