^Dont worry.. I've made my decision and it is Q6600... Even its a 2 year old technology Phenom II 920 is beating it by a little fraction and in some benchies Q6600 is ahead of it also.. So according to me even its a new technology its not new when it cant beat old..
As for future compatibility both motherboards will be worthless if I plan to make an upgrade.. Also did I talk about Vcore values needed for Phenom II 920 to overclock whereas Q6600 is a proven OC'er and draws less power..
I think Phenom II 940 is the way to go if any one is starting a build for quads but unfortunately my budget doesn't allow it.. So I'm better off with Intel.. I think I will get my system tomorrow or day-after-tomorrow..
Q6600 is good one i was thinking about that one day , i thought it is old one so i never said about it .
Make sure that if u r buying the Q6600 get best CPU cooler & best Mobo
If i were choosing the Q6600 then i go for this config

With this mobo & cpu cooler ... u can Overclock the Q6600 to 3.8Ghz & above
