Whats better

[chickenfry09]

Hello, i dont know if this is the right section if it isnt could a mod please remove to the right section.

But anyways lets get started, i currently have a q6600 quad core and i called hp awhile back and asked them if they can fix my product. So i sent it in, and they didnt fix it. i called them agian and talked to one of the managers telling them that they did not even make a attempt to fixing it. then they offered me a brand new computer. I know its better but i think that q8300 isnt as good as my q6600 is it? if anyone could give me something on it or tips tell me the overall proformance scores on each other and the cons and postives on each.. and tell me if i should make the deal
