alright, thanks peter.
Someone just bought my e6550 for $100, although i should have tried selling it for higher.
Im gonna go ahead and buy the q6600 from new egg since they guarantee a G0 stepping.
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - OEM
Would it be smart to get the 8800gts because you get a copy for crysis that i could sell for about 35-40 bucks easily and then it will be around the same price as the gt?
