Thought is to get a qx9650 for that board and move the Q6600 over to the strikerII. Alternative is to get a 45nm duo (E8400) and clock it to *#&%§ [insert your expression of choice here]...

Any ideas?
I had a Q6600 in on water. It did 4050mhz easy and I was trying for 4.1G but never got stable. I am running an E8400 in it now. At 4.27G its only 200 points behind the Q6600@4G in 3dmark06 overall. The E8400 gives a 10-12fps jump in the opening to proxycon over the Q6600, both at 4G.
