im thinking about getting a q9450 chip when they come out. for those of you who dont know about it yet...
core 2 quad q9450 2.66ghz 1333QDR 333FSB 8x multi C0 stepping $330-$350
basically the q9450 is 2 e8200 core on one waferboard. that means it PROBABLY wont do 4.3-4.5ghz like the e8400 does. 4.0-4.2 on a good board is probably max for the q9450. the good part is, the 45nm cores perform about 20-30% better at the same clocks as their 65nm cousins.
what are your thoughts? should i get one or not?
