swilso Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi, i have read many mixed reviews between these two CPUs (E8500 and Q6600). I have asked a guy who has a Q6600 hackintosh and he said if he could go back to do it again he would choose the E8500. So just curious to know other peoples experiences/problems with these CPUs? Is there still an issue with keeping time with the 45nm CPUs? I think for my needs raw power just to run apps etc. is better suited for me. I will dual boot osx leopard and vista x64, I don't really game just occasional re-encoding videos, use office pretty hardcore for uni and internet browsing - want to use virtual machine also on my system. thank-you in advance for anybodies input EDIT: insanelymac website kept giving me database error I didnt realize I posted this question 3 times - sorry Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/128404-q6600-or-e8500-for-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
