 Alrighty, I think I might have an interesting one for you - mostly because frankly, I'm not 100% sure where to begin.

I have a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, plugged into an ASUSTek(Asus?) P5KC Rev 1.xx motherboard. I want to swap the CPU(it's getting on a bit now) for something with a bit more life in it. Any suggestions, for a budget of £100? I don't mind going slightly over, but it has to be able to not only handle gaming but an ever-increasing amount of video editing.
I would try Google-fu'ing this, but I heard something about different CPU's having different pin sets, or something like that? Confused me a little!

Also, I don't know if it matters much but it has to be Vista compatible. I know, I know... but I've had very few issues with it. In fact I'm one of about 10 people who actually like Vista...
