• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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.

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...
