[QUOTE="schan, post: 412904, member: 87063"] I don't think you will gain much in performance when upgrading from Q6600 to Q96xx. The Q6600 can be overclocked to reach or surpass the Q96xx performance level with little effort. I think your decision should base on how much encoding your are doing with your rig. Lots of encoding get the quad else E8500 is fine. For most people low cost, low noise, low power consumption and low heat are more important factors and AMD have the upper hand. [/QUOTE]
