Q6600 sold for less than the X2 3800 did right up until the Conroe launched. They seemed like a Bargain after folks got used to across the Board High Priced AMD X2 price. No, we sure as hell aren't talking prices after INTEL forced AMD to cut them. Or are you one of those hopeless Fanbois who thinks AMD loves you and did you a favor?
Dude, this argument of yours is pathetic.
First you are saying I don't belong here while your system is not even oc'd.
Then you accuse ME of AMD-fanboyism. Strange, I don't see any AMD or
AMD/ATi products in my system.

Were dual-cores expensive back then? Sure; but were there other options,
too? Of course, there were the SC Athlon64s and the s754 Semprons, which
were the cheapest platform then and still oc'd - and there were also the
ancient ones, like the Barton I had up to my current system, and in the
single-threaded world, it still performed fine enough to get by. So this
argument of yours is beside the point. The point is that this is not a nice
move by Intel and would piss off a large group of oc'ers.

Having to pay $400 just for an oc-able cpu? That's a bit too much, if that
turns out to be true, then I'll stay with the cheaper Yorkfields or I'll go
back to AMD if they can bring out something worthwhile.
