I was placing the order and not only can you not find the 8400 because newegg actually deactived the item, it is sold out everywhere on the net. Good luck trying to find that chip anytime soon =). well guessi will ust have to wait for a bit. thanks again.

I not sure what's deal is with Intel's 45nm CPUs, the only ones that seem to have any availablity are the E54x0 Xeons and the QX9650. We got one and only one shipment of E8400 into work almost a month ago now, and since we've only had a small shipment of E8200s, the ETA on the next shipment E8400s and the availablity of the E8500 and Q9000 series CPU is way off, and the dates keep slipping which is very strange, It normal to see storages at release of a new CPU but the gaps between shipments is normally only a week or two.

There is either a stortage due to extreme demand, which I doubt would go on for so long, or Intel is limiting stock to clear out old stock of the Q6000 & E6000 series CPUs, they can since there is nothing in AMDs range to force them to release the lastest and greatest.  Or the sticking tempature sensor issue on the E8400 is a bigger deal than Intel is willing to let on about and they are working like mad to fix it, while hopeing no one notices.

But it looks like a sit and wait game for everyone wanting a new 45nm Core 2 Duo at the moment.

Is the E6750 a viable alternative? I've heard some people being able to OC close to 4ghz.

The E6750 is great CPU, but it tops out for overclocking about 3.6-3.8ghz on good air cooling, You need to get more extreme with your cooling to get to 4.0ghz. As where the E8400 by all accounts will hit 4ghz at the drop of a hat, and there is room to go well below that with the right setup.

The went you factor in easy of overclocking, heat, power use, operating tempatures, the E8400 is the safer bet if you overclocking.

Dead on with the performance with 64 bit os + 64 bit mame.  I was able to finally get vista/xp to dual boot, and there's definitely a lot of speed increase, especially on CHD's.

Okay I have my Quad 6600 at 3.45Ghz stable (Prime95, OCCT V2.0 RC2, Memtest 86+).  I know some people here have been less than impressed with its performance but now that I've tweaked the overclocking I think its worth a revisit for information purposes.

But I have no idea how to benchmark so if someone could kindly point the way I am more than willing to spend the time and post some results.

Here is my setup:

Quad 6600 (G0 stepping) 9x384 = 3.45 Ghz
OCZ 4 GB DDR2-800 o/c to 920Mhz (6:5 divider)
Asus Maximus Formula Bios Settings:
  Vcore - 1.424 under load with Vdroop pencil mod
  Dram - 2.0 (board overvolts 0.08 to 0.10 so actual is 2.08-2.10)
  Spectrums disabled
  All other settings Auto
Arctic Pro 7 Cooling (Cores at 67,67,62,62 at 100% load stress test - 33,33,32,32 idle)
eVga GTS8800 512mb (o/c to 770/1923/1080)
Vista 64 Home Premium edition

3dMark 06 - 15,347

I think the system should put out some decent results now.

In addition to how do I benchmark, what 64 bit version of Mame should I compile to run the tests?
