thanks for the reply, what is the reason you would choose the E8400 over the Q6600?

 

[dai]

it runs faster and there is not much out there that makes use of the 4 cores

 

[10pmStalker]

oh I see, ok cool. E8400 it is then, thank you.

What about a good dvd rom, any you would suggest? I dont need bluray or anything like that.
