i wouldn't waste my money on a q8200, go with a q9300/9400 or a q6600

The Q8200 lacks cache and a decent multiplier.

There is no difference between the Q6600 and Q6700 apart from the multiplier.

The Q9300 has a 7.5x multi, the Q9400 has a 8x multi. The Q9400 would do better then Q6600 since it's 45nm.

But Quads with a multi below 8 are not worth it.

Get a Q6600 unless you have no intention to overclock it.
