The q6600 had been on sale at newegg for 299 for a while, then prices went up along with demand. mwave used to have them for 273 also, but that went up a bit too. either way, its a beast of a processor.

That may be true but Intel just recently released a new version of this CPU. The G0 stepping is what you want which will yield greater OC results.
