Almost missed this one. Here is a review for the Q9450. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/intel_q9450/
i built a machine with a q9300 and that was fast, so its a safe buy
make the qx9770 look over priced and the phemon look a bit crap.thanks for the Post
Yeah I was hoping to see the Q9300 in the mix but oh well...someone will do it soon probably. For gaming though it looks like the Q6600 is holding it's ground though.
Ugh...3.7. I am stuck with 3.4 with a lower VID than that chip. I don't get it.... Couldn't get mine to load Vista at 3.6 with as much as 1.45v.
Might be something up with the chipset holding you back.
