i grabbed this from another site to share here. i might pickup the Q9450 if i don't have a Q6600 yet.

I think I might see a QX9650 for Christmas...

[computergeek19]

do you think I should wait for the QX9650 or should I get a quad extreme?

[Bucko]

QX9650 will be the new Quad Extreme.

The main thing we do know for sure on the current quad Extreme is that the multiplier is completely unlocked, which is great for over clockers.
You can only the hope the newer (and you would hope better!) has the same thing.

[computergeek19]

I don't plan to overclock will the new chip still be worth it? I plan do do a gaming computer and air cool it

[Bucko]

That will wait to be seen. I will be building a new PC from good gear at the start of next year. So I will be waiting with interest to see the reviews.

[XcOM]

atleast wait for the new stock to be released, it will drive the price down for all your stuff you want

[Quakken]

at least wait for AMD's lineup to arrive (if it ever does...)

I have hopeful... well, hopes for amd's quads and such. I wouldn't like having to go over to intel until I see what amd has comparably.

Same thing with ATi. But i'm not going to build anything new until at least christmas anyway, so it doesn't matter.

well from what i've heard there trying to build some retard tri core crap.

well from what i've heard there trying to build some retard tri core crap.

The will be selling true quad core chips which will be amazing and the chips that don't quite come out properly during manufacturing will have the damaged core disabled and the chip with the 3 remaining working cores will be sold at massively cheaper prices.

[computergeek19]

I never been a AMD and ATI fan, I been having a few troubles with my ATI card in my computer, I am probably will go with NVidia in my next computer

[Spawn-Inc]

yes i'm going to have to say at heart i'm a nvidia/intel lover. but i do have to give credit for amd's being tuff. not sure how well a intel chip would handle being ripped out of its socket.
