It's funny you call the QX9770 "Goliath".
Because it is defeated by my "David" - Q6600 @ 3.8Ghz (4.0Ghz possible).
Ironic, isn't it?
Im sure the QX9770 will be a "Goliath" compared to a nice g0 stepping q6600.. what you think intel wants to go backwards? lol your q6600 is inferior to a QX9770 and probably by a Q9550 aswell.. prob most of theses 45nm quads will overclock well but we wont know which ones till thier out.
Thirdly, the world records were done at 5.5Ghz.
could your q6600 hit 5.5Ghz? damm a 5.5Ghz quad core... that will put yours behind in comparison.. I think we have a new Goliath here
