Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz Socket LGA775 (G0 Stepping)

~G0 stepping is the batch of Q6600 with extreme overclocking
potential and also runs cooler than the previous B3 stepping. As a
result it overclocks superbly from 2.4 GHz to 3.6 GHz using air
cooling. The Q6600 is designed for intensive computer users and

than dual core processors

3GB RAM

latter not far behind, you should never experience any hassle by
the intensive requirements of Vista and modern games. The Ballistix
Tracers on the Ballistix RAM shows the RAM usage visually through a
series of LEDs on the top visable through the Antec Nine Hundred's
side window.


Samsung SpinPoint T166 500GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM

I think its a great value for money computer for the stated price of €1675. Supporting High Definition, DirectX 10, Blu-Ray, HD DVD, Windows Vista, Lightscribe Technology, Four Core Multithreading, 3GB of high speed RAM and more, don't expect to need a new computer for a long time after purchasing this.














*paint shop pro not included.

By my calculations its overpriced by about 200 , I can find all the parts otherwise for approx 1250. Including OS.

I just spec'd a similar machine on Komplett with 4gb of Ram and a 20" Samsung Monitor. Came to 1,650.

The one in the first post has a hd dvd drive as well though. Personally I would go with either at the moment.

TerrorFirmer

Oh yeah I meant to say that's as I was using Komplett alone, you can get a combo drive from overclockers.co.uk for a tiny bit more.

The GA-P35-DS3S would be a better choice of mobo if your considering overclocking especially while your getting a G0
