That means nothing if he has a bad chip.
1.3v for 3.2 is ok. A Q6600 that reaches 4GHz needs to get 3.6GHz at 1.3v.
I think that the highest that this Q6600 is going to reach is 3.7GHz

Yea but at 3.6 the quad is going to dominate the 8400 in any mutli threaded app. Also you are gonna have a hard time multitasking the Quad to full load.
IMO I would say go for it. I just swapped out my 8400 and it ran at 3.9ghz and I am running my quad at 3.33ghz right now (its a b3) and I am happier with the quad. Yes PI is not as fast and its a bigger heat issue but left4dead has no issues now where as with the dual core it was fully loading it whiile in games. Im at 50% on the quad.
