I need at least 3.9ghz for bragging rights.
Current q6600 are struggling for 3.4, might want to go q9450/9550 45nm......for reference a PH II 940 only needs 3.7 to match a q6600 @ 3.6 in most benchmarks. Its a little different with q9550 I think do to the 12mb cache and small ipc improvements. Don't have one to test but i think the gap is a little larger.
