Get a E8400 on NCIX and price match it to 169.99 from DirectCanada, the best price you will get, I just bought my E8500 for 225$ Express shipped


Q6600 is a 65nm.

Not true, there isn't that much Quad Core application available, and if it used for gaming, a Dual-Core will be more than enough. For multi-tasking, the Quad core is the way.
