I second the use of the TRUE and a good fan if using AC'ing. As far as the vcore goes, like has been said before, it really depends on what you're gonna' do with the chip. I have 2x Q6600's (ATM stock), but the most I OC' them is 3.0 Ghz to 3.2 Ghz on stock vcore because they DC 24/7 most of the time unattended. They're both WC'ed. According to CPUID HWMonitor my vcore on one is 1.28v and the other is 1.17v. and I haven't had any problems so far (a long time)
Depending on how much the quad sets you back, as in if you need a new mobo, RAM, PSU, etc, you're not excessively gonna' OC' it and you're aware you need good cooling (like a true AC'ed HS and a good fan) I'd go ahead and grab it. I imagine Q6600's will get harder to get in the future and IMHO the Q6600 is still a competitive CPU.
