I have two options to add to my cooler reviews.

Either:

Get a Q6600 and compare dual to quad OR

Get a cheaper AMD rig and show the cooler on both AMD and Intel.

Yep was planning on that. Both chips will still be tested on my asus p5b dlx.

I was thinking of the Q6600 (other than because its cheap) as its 65nm, like my e6750.

The AMD rig I was planning to get will just have a budget motherboard but a higher end dual core processor (say an X2 5-6000+?)

Whether the intel quad or AMD dual, I plan on doing the same as I am. Voltage set for idle and OC of stock, then slightly higher voltage set for idle and OC of load.

If I go the AMD route, I will put an extra page in there. One will be "Installation - Intel" and one will be "Installation - AMD".

Maybe you'll get lucky and get both?

I like the quad vs. dual idea. That would be predictable though.

I will eventually get both.

The thing is, if I get both I will then have to get a Phenom X4 chip as well...to compare the Q6600 to AMD quad. But I havent got that kind of money to spend on the reviews lol
