The Q6700 is no longer available. And besides, it's no longer very competitive compared to newer quads.

I am curious as to why you say that. I have two newer builds, one with an Intel Q9650 3Ghz quad core and the other with PII 940 that I mentioned in post #2. I am finding that I like the AMD processor better because it's cooler, requiring less noise from cooling fans to operate at a reasonable temperature, and it costs significantly less. Owning and using both quad cores, I would definitely recommend the AMD over the Intel.
Is surprises me that you would say that AMD sucks without any explanation as to why you have this opinion.

Because it's Techmaster. From what I've seen in previous posts, he's quite fanboyish.
Personally, AMD and Intel are both fine with me, but I've been noticing AMDs being on top as of late...just a much better price/performance ratio, IMHO.

Well it also depends on what else your getting. I mean are you building a whole rig around this new CPU and if so Why only a price restraint on the CPU and not the overall build?
