LGA775 Core 2 Quad processor

Is there a good deal for a LGA775 Core 2 Quad processor ? Microcenter in the US had Q8300 for 90 USD - of course it was only pickup in store :-(
staticice does not seem to offer any standout deals ATM.

    If you have an account on the OCAU forums and is a member for 90+ days, you can access the trade forum where you can trade amongst forum members.

    There's a Q6600 for sale for $90 reserve / $120 instant.

  • I am a member there - but Q6600 generates too much heat, and it was basically 2 Core Duos slapped together on a die.
    I am looking there too, but things get sold way too quickly there.

    • I'm with scrimshaw, bang for buck I'd be hitting that Q6600! I picked up one for a mate from MSY a couple of years ago for roughly that price NEW!!! :o I keep pestering hime to upgrade so I can have it, bastard's not even looking like wanting to budge!

      Seriously, who cares about a little more heat, just grab a better cooler! Water cooling kits are cheap as chips now, slap that on & overclock the b'jeebus out of it! :p

      Think of all that cache dude! ;)
