I want to buy new cheap CPU for 775 socket based mb. I have idea about Intel Dual-Core series (yeah, I know, they are old), but I can't choose from these processors:
E6600
E5800
Which model I should buy?

The E6600 is better because a Core 2 Duo is faster than a Pentium Dual-Core. However, it's not a lot faster but could you possibly find an E6700? I'm running one of those in my desktop and it's great.

Thanks but i will buy E6600. I can't find E6700 - all magazines are far avay from my house.

There are two E6600 and two E5800 - Core 2 Duo and Pentium Dual Core.
The difference between E6xxx and E5xxx is that E6xxx have FSB 1066MHz and E5xxx - 800MHz

A Q[numbers] is only a viable solution if the motherboard actually supports it. If this is an OEM board it may or may not, google is the best way to find out.
