HELP: buying new processor

[Yolo Swaggins]

I'm upgrading my processor, and I was wondering if you could help me
I need a socket 775 intel
right now I have an Intel Pentium E6500 @ 2.93GHz
I'd like to change for either an intel core2 quad or an intel core2 duo

what do you recommend and why?
ps: price does not count at this moment, I just want to hear your opinion on quad core / dual core

[ZeroTroubles]

I'd go for a intel i7 Quad core, because some *few but still some* games require more than 2 cores, it also gives you a little more stability.

I would just get a new computer its hard to get core 2 quad and CPUs for 775 socket. Even if you could its all discontinued so it would be expensive as hell.

Oh I hadn't noticed that yet. Well all I can say is upgrade your whole PC IMO. 775 sockets are 'rare' for CPU's

i5's or i7's don't exist for socket 775

Actually, I can't even find a single proccessor that is socket 775.. Well, not on my website where I buy all my parts

Duo quad at 3.30? i had one around here (dunno if it was actualy at 3.30 ghz but i know it was superior to 3 ghz :| )

tl;dr version: q6600, but I recommend you upgrade the whole build. Not worth getting anything better than the q6600 any more.

You can't use CPUs if they aren't made for the mobo socket / chipset you have ... seriously, get the fuck out of here and stop screwing around with everyone.
