You can pretty easily get a G0 stepping Q6600 to 3.5GHZ with a good PC cooler.

I wouldn't have said that I was screwed if I hadn't ruled out OC-ing. I have a dg31pr Intel Motherboard. The Intel Motherboards are un-OC-able. In my country buying a computer is a big deal and a huge load of money. I bought mine less than a year ago. I won't be changing it (because I can't) any time soon.
But thanks for the help (and the hope, glad to know the team is working on using the four cores)

Well, when I originally bought the computer I had heard that the Intel Processors worked better with Intel Boards so I've asked my dealer to get me a good intel Board. I still think this IS a good board it just doesn't have that feature...
When I bought the machine I wanted to play PC games, and my Rig can pretty much run any computer game today with high settings. So I'm happy with this. Anyways If I ever get the chance to change it again I'll consider getting a "gaming motherboard" and faster processor.
