I'm looking to do my last socket 775 upgrade before moving to an i7 rig near the end of the year.
I've narrowed it down to one of these two processors, which are basically identical. They are the same price, but the Q9650 has free shipping. I really don't care about the free shipping, the $5-10 extra isn't going to concern me if I get a better processor.
Now my concern is overclocking. I would assume that the X3370 would overclock better, but I'm not sure. Has anyone played around with the X3370? Whats the overclocking like? Do the Xeon processors still overclock better than the desktop processors?
