I'm so out of the loop. How do those compare to my current in sig?

the one in your new sig is better. the q6600 is a quad core and quite overclockable. stick with it. unless you go i5 or i7

OMG I could make a good living if I went to Fry's every week.

It's over an hour away for me but it's so worth it.

picked up my combo tonight. Great little combo. I had my old 940 BE PII retail heatsink laying around because the 550BE retail sink is a joke. Gonna try and unlock the 2 extra cores. If it does this was a heck of a deal. Even w/o the unlock still a solid deal.

Woot Unlocked both extra Cores. God Bless AMD! =)

550BE if it unlocks is probably better but NOT worth spending money upgrading.

Of course for that price, you would actually MAKE money upgrading but thats just me :)





Vengeance: Its a B&M deal you can check stepping before you pay ;)
