i'm running an E6600 right now but those Q6600's are only like £150 now, I think it's upgrade time :)

Tell me about it Eddie. I got a X6800 second hand for £400 and thought I had a good deal.

E6850 anyone......

Granted, its top locked but still.

What are the E6750's like for overclocking? These are only around £120 now

One of my lecturers once told me it's not such a great thing having so much cache as it doesnt neccessarily speed things up...is this true or was the Ozzie lying to us all?!

Why have it if it doesn't improve performance?

A larger cache doesn't make any noticeable difference when gaming.

But try a build with a, for instance, 2mb cache core 2, then a 4mb cache core 2 (same speed) and benchmark using Photoshop as your measurement.
