Future proof? i5 750+P55 of course.

The i5/P55 combo is the only real choice there...

it will either be more or equal, though it depends on what you are doing with your computer and the fact that most people don't really notice a difference (except in benchmarks and cpu heavy games)

but you also want future proof, get the i5+P55 since LGA775 is EOL

yup LGA 755 is end of the line,Core i5 is a great processor it beats the Q9550 in most games/apps

Not to mention the I5 overclocks like a beast. Someone on here got it up to 4.5 (unstable) and 4.0 stable on air.
