I hope you're not leaning towards the QX6700; currently it is the worst deal in terms of price/performance ratio.
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz: $254US (best deal)
Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz: $540US (semi-bad deal)
Core 2 Extreme QX6700 2.66GHz: $985US **(worst deal!)
**Core 2 Extreme QX6850 3.0GHz: $980US (bad deal)
etc... The reason I bought a QX6700 was when I purchased, about a year ago, it was the only choice for a quad core processor; today, the Q6600 is a tremendously better purchase in terms of price/performance.
