Q9550

[willie91k]

Hey guys need some help just ordered a new dell Q9550 2.83ghz. 12 meg 1333 fsb. dell just sent email saying shipped but it says Q9550 1.6 ghz. 2 meg 533 fsb. Is that possible with a Q9550? called dell not much help! said i could return it. Is there a way i can check and see for sure before i return it?

Thanks for the help willie...

lol that does not make sense. Dell underclocked the cpu? well here is some advice. return the whole thing. dell sucks a lot!!! take that money and spend it buying parts yourself. this way you will have made a much better computer and for less.

If you need help putting it together of deciding on parts we can help. Just dont buy dell its a rip off.

oh and what are you going to use the computer for? and whats your budget?

Relax, man, There's only one type of Q9550. There's no "2 meg 533 fsb" version of it. Wait until you get the PC, then download CPU-Z and see what it shows. If it's not a Q9550 then of course return it.

I bet it's the right thing and it's just that the person who wrote the e-mail was overworked/incompetent/drunk/whatever.

I agree, send the piece of crap back. We can help you choose parts and assemble it yourself, or lots of us custom build rigs for people like you and sell via Ebay.

I help alot of my customers choose parts on Newegg.com, that way they no what they are getting, and how much it costs, then I charge $150 to assemble, test, and support it for 3years.

My PCs are more powerful and better quality then Dell makes. Plus you dont get all the bloatware that Dell installs.

If your interested, send me a PM and I will be happy to help you choose parts on newegg.com.



I,m gonna be a little busy today, trying to get a core i7 920 for $150, and a x58 mobo for $130, since its black friday. I know where to get it, I just got to call in fast to get it. Wish me luck!!!

If I do get it the rig I build with it will go on Ebay for way cheaper then any other i7 rig atm.

Lucky you ^^, why not keep an i7 rig for yourself?

 

[roadrunner197069]

Because I already got one.

AMD also makes a 9550 quad core.

Edit: Has 4 x 512kb L2 cache

[sisley_111]

yes but in any time the AMD Phenom 9550 is clocked at 1.6GHz. It's a 2.2GHz quad, with 2MB L2 + 2MB L3 cache and DDR2-1066 support.

 

[knotknut]

OP wont know what he has untill he gets a physical ID on it.

His reply from Dell was confusing.

 

[aevm]

Does the e-mail say which motherboard is in there? That would allow us to figure out if they shipped an AMD setup.

 

[willie91k]

guys it came today haven't taken it out of box yet just owners manual in case i have to ship back. it says nforce 790i sli intel core2 Quad
bios chip(NVRAM) 8 MB
PCI 32 BIT
HOPE THIS HELPS THANKS WILLIE...

If that is actually correct then you didn't get an AMD. Of course, it may not be a Q9550 either. Maybe you got a Pentium 3 Come on, open it, then download and run CPU-Z.

 

[V3NOM]

omg why would they put a 790i in it...

 

[aevm]

Why not. Dell is trying to move into the gaming market. I just hope they matched that 790i with a large PSU and an nVidia card, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense.
