get anything less powerful or you will just regret it. A quad is a bit more future proof and the 45nm's do run cooler ... but the price is higher for a Q9450 than a Q6600. Get the 66 but make sure the case is well setout to allow the air to move. Make sure...

with the clock of a quad CPU. For example, you could get a GA-X48-DS4 + Q6700 (multiplier of 10) and reach 4 GHz. Or, a Q6600 (multiplier of 9) and reach 3.6 GHz. Or, a Q9450 (multiplier of 8) at 3.2 GHz, which is almost as good as Q6600/3.6GHz because it's...

to q6700's 10x. This is a crippling difference for overclocking. If you want real performance gain, skip q9300 for q9450. Q6600, at $189.99, is the best bang for the buck right now. Q9450 offers enough performance gain to be considered a real upgrade, for a...

core CPU but do not get a QX version. Those are for people who like to over clock their hardware far beyond factory settings. If you can get your hands on an Intel Q9450 do so, but if not a Q6600 will be fine too. The Q9550 is slightly faster than the Q9450...

recommend you get a Q9450 CPU. Normally I recommend Q6600 or Q6700 instead, because they give better bang for the buck when overclocked. However, Q9450 has SSE4 instructions, and with the right software you could get 100% more speed in video work from the Q9450...

the cost of some of my new one's and to make room for my new part's. The Parts are Under 8 months old. And some are new parts never been opened. I am looking to trade some of the parts for Q9450 or Q6600 G0. Used Part's Motherboard:Asus PK5-V Asking $75...

problem running games on Vista 64 bits? (if yes, what is the game and what is the problem) My computer should be: Intel Q9450 or Q6600 GeForce 9800GTX OC DDR2-800 Thanks to all of you. . I'm a gamer and the only thing that I want with my computer...

on their hands. Over hyped, over promised, no show. Its like a worked Honda Civic; makes a lot of noise, but doesn’t get anywhere. On another not, is there a reasonable gain for moving to the Q9450? I have a Q6600 B3 and I was thinking of upgrading....

benchmark here. Basically the 9850BE is about 5% behind the Q6600 which is behind the Q9450 by about 10% at stock speeds.The Q6600 is not shown in the graph but the Q9450 will perform better by about 10%.However you can get the faster Core 2 Quad Q9550 for...

q6600 i just want to know about these 2 thank you. . 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...
