    What would be the advantage going to an xeon compared to a Q6600 ?

    The general consensus is that the 3000 (Conroe) and X3000 (Kentsfeild) series Xeons are of higher bin quality than their Core2 counterparts, though no one has ever gotten a confirmation of this from Intel. Aside from that, there is no difference.
    Look at the tyranny of party--at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty--a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes--and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction; and forgetting or ignoring that their fathers and the churches shouted the same blasphemies a generation earlier when they were closing their doors against the hunted slave, beating his handful of humane defenders with Bible texts and billies, and pocketing the insults and licking the shoes of his Southern master.

    I am running a Q6600 in a Shuttle SFF SD39P2 at 9x333 = 3ghz at stock voltage and runs like a champ. Temp went up 2 degrees when going from 2.4ghz to 3.0ghz so I suspect I have a killer chip.

    Well since nothing but Extreme series chips seem to be able to be adjusted according to the BadAxe2 thread, I would venture a guess that.. no... the Q6600 is not adjustable with current BIOS's but I have no first hand knowledge.

    Better place to ask the question is the BadAxe2 thread. At least you'll likely get more responses.

    I just got my q6600 today, as far as the multiplier, I can set it in the bios with my p5b deluxe and according to CPUz the multiplier is changed. The strange thing is the bios post screen and bios info say I'm running 3.6ghz but cpuz reports 3.2ghz 400x8.

    Also another thing, no problems at all with 4gb 4x1gb of memory and 400fsb so far with initial testing with my old Asus P5B Deluxe.

    Well, just hoping..

    http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=6488
    Despite the mild Q2’2007 price cuts, Intel plans to aggressively cut prices on its complete lineup in Q3’2007, with the exception of the recently launched Core 2 Extreme QX6800.

    Hope the QX6700 wont be totally phased out by then
    Oh blah?

    Mine does something similar. BIOS reports my Q6600 at 3.2Ghz, when it's only at 8x360.

    The bad axe 2 will not allow you to adjust multis on any chip that is locked.

    Only chips you can lower or raise the multi on is the extreme.

    Most other boards will allow you to lower the multi and go for a higher FSB.

    Take a quad core system Install Windows, VMWare and 2 instances of Linux. Assign each vm 2 procs. Set the affinity to cpu's 1 and 2 to the first one, and 3 and 4 to the second.

    Looks like about 3077 ppd with P2608's 13 minutes per frame per vm.
