Right, got an i5-2400s and 2x4gb sticks of DDR3 for free today, which is nice, but, the question is, do I use them to replace my Q6600 (@3.4ghz) in my main rig, or just build another machine with 'em?
The only thing that has me concerned is with the limited overclocking and it being an early low-power chip, with lower turbo boost speeds when the cores start getting used, it might not be worth buying an old 1155 board (given they're still 60 quid for a decent ish board) for it in case it's not noticeably faster than the q6600?
Yay or nay?
