I see lots with 6600's, but I am assuming that is because of budget purposes? Just curious, what quads should I look into? Budget is a concern of course but I am looking at $300 as a limit for the CPU.

What do you all think?

Thanks.
Neh not budget, just this board clocks 65nm quads really well X48 is a 90nm chipset, so it's more aligned to the 65nm cpus. None the less it clocks 45nm chips really well too

Other thing is a lot of us bought this board just when 45nm chips were coming out so we already had Q6600s that have been venerable enough to not replace

If you are looking into quads go for the Q9550
