Simply Brilliant
os:
Windows Vista5.9 rating on vista ultimate 64bit. Simply eats enything that is thrown at it. Supreme Commander which uses all 4 cores runs like a dream.
My setup:
ASUS P5W DH Deluxe (brilliant m/board, feature packed)
Intel Quad 6600 G0 Stepping
4GB OCZ Platium DDR2-800 (4x1GB modules)
500GB Western Digital SATA2 16mb Cache
Hiper Type R 580W Modular PSU
2 x ATI Radeon X1800GTOs in crossfire
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit Edition
At this price you would be silly to buy a dual core. I have not yet tried overclocking it as I have no need to! :)
best processor
os:
Windows XPAsus P5KC (Brilliant board by the way)

This processor is the best intel chip on the market at the moment when ot comes to price and performance.
I have owned the e6750 and the e6850, this quad does everything the e6850 does but better and faster.
Multitasking is much better/gaming is better ans future games will be aimed for quads.
Oh i forgot to mention my cpu temp on idle is 26 at idle and 32 whilst gaming (this is tahnks to this -go- version and the artic heatsink.
This is a genuine review and i am writing this because i am so happy with this set up.
cool as f$@k!!!

this cpu runs cool 20c idle thats with q fan enabled(running at 920 rpm)
windows vista base score is 5.8
very fast cpu will get faster when more apps use all four cores
Q6600
XP will run fine
Just had to write something down.....
os:
OtherBuilt a server (Windows 2003 server) around this CPU. Threw in 4 Gb of OCZ Platinum DDR-800 RAM all on a Asus P5K board. WOW, I have NEVER seen 2K3 load and run so fast. I'm just blown away by it to be honest.
I don't know if a XP/Vista Gaming setup would get the most out of the 4 cores, but a server definitely does. This is a cutting edge CPU for under £170. How times have changed.
Great deal on a great CPU
os:
Windows XPI just bought this CPU and I am very happy with it. I mainly do 3D work and this CPU just flies! 4 cores! What more could you ask for at this price? The temps are also low ~30C idle and with the added bonus of the new G0 stepping helps with power consumption.
Fantastic
I can now encode a full length DVD to MPEG4 in 35mins, compared to 6hours+ on my previous Athlon XP2000. Overclocked to 3Ghz/core with the standard cooler max temp is 69 degrees under full load - Amazing processor for the money
Bought with : Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R, OCZ 2X1GB 800MHz/PC2-6400, WD 500GB SATA II, Vista Home Premium x32Bit OEM, Coolermaster IGreen 500W PSU, Sapphire HD 2600XT 256MB, Aplus Black MC Case, Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T 500, Samsung 20X DVD RWD
Can't Wait to test this cont.
os:
Windows VistaOk so been running for a couple of weeks and I think this is a great choice for anyone wanting to multi-task, i.e. encoding video whilst playing Half Life 2 without any slowdowns or hiccups, burning DVD's/CD's with Office open, PDF reader, Windows Media Player showing 720P content, iTunes, Steam downloading and loads more.
I am finding it difficult to get encoders to utilise all 4 cores but this will come soon enough I guess.
Stock fan and heatsink seems fine, 42 degrees C running firefox and steam at the moment.
Computer running great with Asus P5K and ATi 2900XT with 2 GB Corsair ram. I'm running the Ebuyer 500W budget PSU and this runs the system sufficiently - but is fairly noisey!
5.7 Vista Rating due to RAM - slightly annoyed!
Superb CPU
os:
Windows XPThis CPU is an excellent overclocker, hit 3.6Ghz on fist attempt with just 1.38 vcore, temps are 30c idle and 50c max load. Tares through windows and games with ease, soon, top class games like crysys will be here that take advantage of multiple core CPU's, making this chip an absolute bargain.
Fist class service from ebuyer as usual:)
Great CPU
os:
Windows VistaI decided to upgrade from an AMD 64 X2 4400+ (OC 2.4ghz) and Asus a8n-sli deluxe, to this and the Asus P5W DH with 4GB of Corsair XMS2 Dominator RAM.
I got the problem with the error loading CPU uCore at POST, just ignored that at first until I got round to upgrading the BIOS, with the simple to use ASUS updater, which fixed the problem.
The whole build seems extremely stable and I gave it a hammering to start, it handled well with no hang ups. I have the 32bit edition of Vista and am definately going to upgrade to the 64bit ultimate to really unlock the potential of this chip and the RAM.
Had a play with overclocking and it's a breeze, lots of scope to push this beyond the 3GHz mark, but would recommend a decent cooler rather than the stock HSF (which is still great for running as standard).
All in all a great CPU, I look forward to really testing it out.
