i am upgrading my system mostly for gaming, fsx to be specific, i need to know which cpu i'll be better off for performance the E8400/8500 OR THE Q9450?????? i dont wanna know about other cpu like the q6600 i just want to know about these 2 thank you.
well on their main page here, it says "multi-core" optimized. I know this doesn't mean anything, but if you google around a little, there were many reviews on the subject, I'm sure you'd find one.

Anyone with a Quad and capable mobo want to try disabling cores to tests this. My MSI P6N SLI platinum can't do it *cry*, but I know evga's 680i can as that is what [H] did for supreme commander testing: http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/arti [...] VzaWFzdA==
