Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0GHz LGA Quad-Core 95W 775

The only difference between a Q9300 and a Q9650 is the CPU speed (2.5 vs 3Ghz), amount L2 Cache (6MB vs 12Mb) and the multiplicator (7 vs 9).

If you're happy with your 9300, keep it and save the money for an i7 system.

I have my doubts that a quad on 4Ghz can run 24/7 on air cooling.

Ohh but it can.....and does, providing you've a decent cooler. 4GHZ overclocks are relatively tame these days.

Hm, 444Mhz FSB multiplied by 9...could make for a VCore of 1.24 or .25...yeah, should be within limits. Maybe scratching at the 70°C mark per core...
