I am going to buy either one TODAY. I don't know which one I want [I don't want the ridiculously priced E8500...]. Maybe you guys that know more about Intel could help me out. I have never used any multi-core product from Intel, but I know I have changed my ideas about AMD [ATM] and was willing to build an Intel rig.
So my question is. Which is better? The E8400 or the Q9450?
I am not an excessive gamer, I do play games every now and then...and when there is a LAN party I am sure to attend. However, I do dabble in video editing and photo editing and of the like. but that isn't my main reason for this rig.
