No, do not go AMD for gaming. Intel is ahead.

check your motherboard manufacturers website for cpu compatability ........ see if you can use the 1333mhz FSB cpu's like the E8500 or E8600

they will give you plenty of increase over the Q6600 >>>>>>>>> AMD is a long way behind intel in gaming performance

Jimmy ...... check your Private Messages (PM's)

thank-you

BTW: if your 780 chipset motherboard cant accept a 1333mhz FSB cpu ...... then I would look to the Intel P45 chipset
