I also posted in another thread about the same. Q6600 has better VFM. U save 2300/- and for that, i think one can get decent cooler.

Overall Q6600 can overclock more because of higher multiplier but only with good cooling solution and power supply. Also 1066 default fsb strains the motherboard less while overclocking (<1600mhz).
Q9300 has a wall around 3.5ghz because of its low multiplier but overclocks nice on stock cooler and modest psu. But the motherboard needs to be able to push fsb to 470 (1880mhz).
As for overclocked performace, both are just same, with one sliding the other in different benchmarks.

Acc. to a review if Q9300 has to achieve 4GHz clock (which is no big deal) the motherboard has to achieve 550MHz FSB, which is by far no motherboard can do.
 

confused

Evolving Rapidly...
I almost got the machine today,.... but when my dealer got the Abit board from the distributor the seal was broken and he said he thinks that there is some problem with that piece... it was the last pirce with the distributor as well... he returned that and has made a fresh order which i will get on Wednesday...

Good choice overall Ajay.
Stick with the Q6600, i really dont like the Q9300, its got a low Multi, lesser cache and its more expensive than Q6600.I really dont see a reason why anyone should buy that chip.

Stick with whatever you have decided, its a good solid combo.

Congrats in advance ;-)
