That's serves my purpose well. So, I'll shop around and will go for less expensive CPU, just good enough to satisfy my applications. Still got you point on over clocking. Thanks ... Jdr

The over clocking was not consider only because my drawing and other applications would gain definitely from extra two processors. That would serve my purpose well. I'll shop around and will go for less expensive CPU, just good enough to satisfy my applications. Thanks ... Jdr

It's the quad version of your E6600.
