Well here's the current list of multithreaded games I can think of (current and yet to be released):

-Unreal Tournament 3
-Bioshock
-Crysis
-Supreme Commander
-Alan Wake
-World In Conflict

I just thought it made sense, since I could afford an upgrade, to get something that would be nicely futureproofed. The Q6600 still runs at 1066, but at 3.3ghz which seems to be what most B3s top out at, you're looking at a 1650mhz FSB x8 multi.

That said, there's certainly nothing wrong with your E4300, that to a Q6600 is hardly like A64 to Core 2 Duo.

I've just blown £40 on my 4th heatsink...decided the Scythe Mine (which replaced the Noctua 90mm, which replaced the Artic Cooling Freezer 7) wasn't cutting it and got a Tuniq Tower. You'll probably need to upgrade your cooling if you go quaddie, these chips put out serious heat.

*As a side note, if anyone is interested in any of the above coolers, PM me
