I am very sorry to start another kind of meaningless thread. But I really want some firm knowledge if I can put an E8500 into my P5N32-E Sli mobo (680i)

I am looking to get a new processor, and for about $320AUD I can get a Q6600 and for a little bit more I can get a E8500.

I am hoping to gain high clocks, and it seems everyone is happy with how the E8500 preforms so far, but they are not something I know about, and I was only going to get a Q6600 if I can get a SLACR but I dont know what are good 8500's etc.

Thank you for any replies
