Posted by Spork Published in Computer Stuff

It looks like Intel’s entry level Quad Core Q6600 CPU has dropped below $200 as eSNG has them for $179.99 till 9pm tonight. Looks like they did made the same offer on June 30th, and they’ve got a few left. This is a low price for quad core cpu thats going for about $250 or so regularly. You can ignore the product info on eSNG’s product page for it as they’ve obviously mixed that up with the current Core2 Duo’s, but the information in the product matrix on the same is correct for the Q6600, which would be the following:
