Not sure if anyone has seen it yet but Newegg has the Q9300 for sale. Hopefully they will stay in stock longer than the E8400 did.

Whats the OC capabilities on this supposed to be? Like the Q6600?

It only has a 7.5x multi, so its going to require a board than can handle high FSB speeds.

like a 790i Ultra it handles 500FSB and still stably, Anandtech did a qx9770 at 4000mhz by going 500fsb at 8x multiplier

Hmm, I was just thinking about ordering that just now, BUT, 7.5 multi, I'll pass.

Would this be a better choice with my XFX 780i, 2x2GB Crucial, Dual 9600GT's? or Should I just save $100 and go with Q6600 or E8400?

Also, what about the E5410? 45nm Quad core 2.33Ghz 12MB cache? $279?
