The 45nm processors are only 5% faster clock for clock than the Q6600, in response to the "how much faster is it" question.

If you were going for DDR3 1066, you'd of been much better off with DDR2 1066, because it has much lower latencies, which makes heaps of difference. It would be better buying a cheaper P35 board with DDR2 support, such as the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L (or DS3R depending on what features you want) or if you really wanted DDR3 later on, then you could of got the GA-P35C-DS3R which supports both DDR2 and 3.

However, you're going to find DDR2-1066 will perform better than its DDR3 equivilant.
