This thing is a beast! http://www.nordichardware.com/news,6864.html Im planning to get the Q9450 which is around the q6600s price from what supposedly someone said. Edit: Chart of cpus
I'm planning on getting the crippled celeron version. Should have around 3mb l2 cache and a higher rmulti for less $$$. all I need.
unless you need the unlocked multi, the 9550 should be fine. 8.5x multi and most boards should do 500+ FSB on the 1333strap. plus at stock it's only 5% slower. 5% is almost negligible. trust me, upgrades twice as often with slightly lower parts is best, I've learned that.
