The K models are unlocked. In addition, they always benchmark better from what I have seen..so I would always purchase the K variety. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Q9550 2.83Ghz OC'd to 3.40Ghz Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R rev. 1.1, F12 BIOS Memory 8GB G.Skill PI DDR2-800, 4-4-4-12 timings Graphics Card EVGA 1280MB Nvidia GeForce GTX570 Sound Card Realtek ALC899A 8 channel onboard audio Monitor(s) Displays 23" Acer x233H Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard ABS M1 Mechanical Mouse Logitech G9 Laser Mouse PSU Corsair 620HX modular Case Antec P182 Cooling stock Hard Drives Intel X25-M 80GB Gen 2 SSD

the 2600k has an unlocked multiplier while the 2600 does not, the 2600 can be overlocked to around 5.01 ghz but the results for the 2600k are higher.
for the cost difference the 2600k is worthwhile if overclocking is your thing, if not then the standard 2600 is just fine. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number me OS windows 7 pro 64 bit CPU i7 2600 Motherboard intel DP67BG Memory 8 gb ddr3 1600 corsair vengence Graphics Card AMD HD 6850 Monitor(s) Displays 2 Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard logitech ergonomic Mouse logitech trackball PSU 850w coolermaster silent pro Case thermaltake Cooling 3x 12 cm fan 2 x 8 cm fans, cpu arctic cooler Hard Drives 320 wd

The K model has Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics.
The non-K has Intel HD 2000 integrated graphics.
Tough to get a lot of detail on the differences, but it probably isn't clearcut in normal use. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

According to the link, the 2600 DOES have the features; the K model does NOT. It seems that the i5-2500K and the i7-2600K doesn't have those options.
Apparently Intel had to make some trade-offs to unlock the processors as well as give them both
the higher HD 3000 graphics. http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?id...14,52210,52209,
