B3 , G0 - as far as i know old one B3 has 105W while G0 95W. G0 runs colder and is better to overclock, for more info try google something up , i go for a wedding now ;] cu

So is this Slacr - Clickity Click

That looks like the B3 version to me, the G0 slacr versions usually have the G0 in the product name as this one has no mention of the G0 stepping

Ok which is the better (regards to performance)

The E8500 or the Q6600 (No Overclocking)

In regards to performance. The speed in doing things

Would depend on what you're doing. If you're talking about gaming, dual-core in general is better seeing as just about no game utilizes 4 cores. However, if we're talking about rendering, encoding, and the like it's a different story

OK I see, Quad core is the way to go then as gaming speed doesn't even bother me as long as it goes smoothly and doesn't stutter
