Q33 should support native 1333FSB. The question would then be, What do you intend to do with your system? Gaming, web surfing, office work, video encoding, ?

Let me rephrase. You don't have to have a 1333FSB processor.

E5x00 800FSB : General usage, web surfin, office productivity, light gaming.
E7x00 1066FSB : Same as E5x00, plus mid level gaming cpu.
E8x00 1333FSB : High end dual core, ideal for gaming and cpu intensive tasks

i want to use it for 3d rendering (blender 3d) and to play crysis, i have a ge force 9500gt with 1024 mb of ram that is pci express 16x, is that going to be good enough and i have 4 gigs(hyperx 1066 kingston ddr2) of ram installed on the motherboard right now, so you think i should go with the 1333 fsb dual core?, i have a 400 gigabyte sata hard drive on the way also sata 150, i dont think my motherboard supports sata 300

No, I think if you can afford it you should update your BIOS, get a Q9550 and a 4770, it will own the 9500GT in gaming and a dual core in rendering.

but you might need a new PSU, a corsair 450w should suffice.

i bought the q9550 and i have a 550w power supply is that going to be enough?, and ive read some reviews and alot of them say that the stock coolers suck, is that the same for this processor? and how do i update the bios?
