Damn. Thanks Toker, nevermind Veovis.

I think what jason meant was, people say that "Yeah the nvidia 893348 just came out, but im going to wait until a price drop".....3 months later the prices drops by 50%. Same guy now says "Im not going to invest in the nvidia 8993348 because the new 945532's are coming out in 4 months. Now I dont know who jason was referring to personally and Im certainly not mocking anyone, but I believe thats what he meant. If you take the approach I listed above, in theory you will be waiting forever.

Yes, but the entire reason I was told to "wait a few generations" had nothing to do with price drops. It had to do with what hardware I currently have.

Completely different situation.

Let me get this right.
Wait for the new products to come out. When the new ones come out they are $$$. So we wait for the price to come down but then the new ones will come out.

My advice to everyone in this forums is make up your own mind if you want to upgrade then upgrade and if you want to play that waiting game then go ahead.

There is new parts coming out all the time so if you "wait" you will always be waiting.

Point is with a price like this why not.
I know.
Its because jason jinx posted this thread and the mods of this forum wish him banned.
If soy would have posted this then everyone would be ball riding.

negatory. i would have said the same thing either way...its just how i feel. if i buy a chip, i want the newest revision. i never said shit about waiting on nuttin. also, this chip could be a g0, there is just no guarantee. when i bought my q6600, i made sure that it wasnt a b3 by asking to see the box before i bought it. hey jason,

lol
if it were not for this tech forum how would i get my kicks?

What crap.

This is a great deal, yes.

No Veovis should not upgrade right now because his E6400 is fine.

How did you misinterpret that into me crapping on the great deal of a Q6600 for 199 bucks?

My post was explicitly to Veovis, in regards to his question about the E6400 he already runs versus the very good deal you posted for a Q6600.

if I were building a new system right now (or recommending parts for a new build or pre core 2 upgrade to core 2) I would be like: "Damn, a Q6600 for 199? of course you should get it!"

Sorry if that was not understood. YES THIS IS A GREAT DEAL. Veovis, you dont need it yet.

Do you know the real difference between the two?
Also the ones we picked up yesterday was boxed :9
Bump

difference between the HH80562PH0568M (b3) and BX80562Q6600(G0)

Good post,,, I was wondering the same. So what I have gathered here is this,
Q6600 OEM vs Retail,
Difference = OEM no heat sink & fan / 1 year warranty
Retail has fan & heatsink / 3yr warranty
