Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W Processor - BX80562Q6600
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W Processor - BX80562Q6600

Pros: The is the best value on the market today. (after overclocking of course).. easily overclocked to at least 3.2G on factory fans. on my second rig, it overclocked to 3.51G on air (Zalman heatsink)

Cons: none

Overall Review: Just Get It.

Most Critical Review

This is not what it's spec-ed to be (5-5-5-18)

ADATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model AD2U800B2G5-DRH
ADATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model AD2U800B2G5-DRH

Pros: cheap. that's about it.

Cons: Wasted me a 2 whole days to to find out it doesn't work with Gigabyte P35-DS3P rev2.0 in its default CAS settings. need to drop to 6-6-6-18 before it will even boot. (otherwise the system would randomly lock up or bluescreen). This is not what it's spec-ed to be (5-5-5-18) (I bought 4x2GB modules)

Overall Review: I regret buying this and waste so much time trying to figure out what was wrong.

Fast and cheap. Enough said.

Pros: Fast and Quiet. Practically, you probably won't be able to tell the difference between this one and the Vertex Turbo, and that's at a lower price.

Cons: Still fairly expensive. Wish it was a 256GB drive :)

Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC24G6400LLK

Pros: it works.. kind of.

Cons: this wasn't really worth my money. It's prob the motherboard (Gigabyte P35) but I wasn't able to get 4-4-4-12@800Mhz on this to boot. (even after setting apropriate voltage) i was able to get 2x2G of patriot at 5-5-5-12 much cheaper. (which togethter with the above 4G, now have total 8G rrunning at 780Mhz @ 5-5-5-12)
