I think you make a BIG mistake here my friend...
PII with IMC is Better from Q6600...... FAR FAR BETTER .... believe me.
IMC is a miracle when you see the response on Desktop apps.
I have my Q6600 at 3.6Ghz for 24/7 use but my old OPTERON 165 running on 2.6 GHz has SUPERIOR Response.

I believe AM3 & DDR3 will be more competive on i7 and much much cheaper.
