Alright, which cpu is faster for rts gaming, the q6600 or the e8400. Which one can be overclocked further and easier? Do I need a real high end power supply to overclock either one? Should I wait for the 45nm tech to come thru more?

The Quad Core would be better in terms of future games that will support Quad Core. They both can overclock pretty high, you may get a little more out of the E8400 since it's based on the 45nm vs the 65nm Q6600.

Any PSU that supports SLI should be fine in terms of overclocking those types of processors.

Thanks, I usually upgrade once a year. So I will probably go with the e8400. I just didnt know if I should wait a month or two.
