Nice David.
Will have to setup a Quad-core thread just for you

Think the thread should just be named "Multi-core" since I guess others will have an 8-core system by the time you actually do start the new thread.

Re: Dual Core Processor Club
Haven't had time to do a lot with it yet. Just got everything together Friday afternoon and started 12 hour night shifts Friday night. I have only one day off this week (today) and next week (Monday) so it will be a couple of weeks before I get time to really try it out.
I can say one thing about it though - it runs HOT. A lot hotter than the E6700 it replaced (I swapped around some stuff. Sold an E6600, moved E6700 to the computer the 6600 was in and bought the QX6700 to fill the slot the E6700 had been in). At stock speeds the E6700 never sees 50°C while running World Community Grid while the QX6700 gets up to 60°C. I have Zalman 9700's on both of them.
Cheapest I've seen the Q6600 so far is at ClubIT: $547.50 including shipping. http://www.clubit.com/search.cfm?keyword=q6600&cat=all

How's the QX working out for you. I am really tempted to grab me a 6600 quad with the price drops but... we shall have to see.

Now I'm in.
Just built a new systems with a new AMD 3600+ Brisbane X2. Overclocked to 2.85 right now, think the PSU is keeping me from 3GHz!

Re: Dual Core Processor Club
It amazes me that people are buying athlon x2's.
The one I'm forced to use here at work is so appalingy slow at everything I do its tantamount to torture compared to an E6700.
Still I'm waiting on people to start stocking the Q6700 now the qx6800 is around

Re: Dual Core Processor Club
It feels to me that this AMD build is just as snappy as my C2D 6300 at work. Not to mention that the cpu only $65 and running on a $70 mobo.

Doesn't HP use Intel-only CPUs in their systems? Anyhow, yeah, I find the HP systems slow as a snail at work... And I hate P4's. lol

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone.
Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
