Phenom II X4 940 or Q6600?

Hardware Hub CPU

hey guys i got a tricky question.

i currently have a q6600 @3.4Ghz and i recently bought a phenom II x4 940 with a bad motherboard.

is it worth it if i buy a motherboard for the 940 and use that for my main rig? (i also overclock it than)

or should i keep using my q6600?

i heard those 940's clock 3.6Ghz with ease... is that true?

the thing is i need all the processing power since i-am also streaming, (i wont do a 2 pc stream setup)

so is the overclocked 940 more powerfull than my q6600?

Keep the q6600, great chips for oc'ing- i had my old girl @ 3.2ghz for a couple of years. Sell the 940 and buy a half decent cpu cooler I reckon.

thankyou i'll keep my stuff than.

also how much do you think i can probaly get for it?

i bought a asus m3a-h hdmi, phenom II x4 940 and 4gb (2x2GB ) 800mhz corsair memory all together for 25 EURO's.
