That's why I said that your Q6600 at 3.8GHz would add in a lot.

My processor is not even comparable to yours at 3.4GHz even at these clocks... because 3DMark is just like that.

Sincerely, every 100MHz extra of yours would be another extra 500 to the total score. By the way, $350 CAD, you say? They are costing $220 USD here.
