Woohoo Got me a Quad Core

Yeppers it came in on Friday actually.. didn’t get it installed until late last night though…

Got the G0 revision as well, got the luck of the draw I guess, everyone seems to want the Q6600 with the G0 revision or stepping as some call it for it’s great overclocking abilities..

I’ve run a few benchmarks and already compared to my C2d6420 and the 6600 blows it away easily in most things…. Like I ran 3dMark06 without SLI enabled and got 6306 3dmarks compared to the 5543 3dMarks of the C2D6420.. I ran SiSoft Sandra CPU Arithmetic test and got 44449 MIPS, compared to the 19776 score of the C2D6420..

In time I’ll post up a brief comparison over at DSM, but for now I’ve got other work to do…
