Hey everyone,
I just upgraded my system and now am looking to my next upgrade to a new CPU... I've got a Q6600 which has been great, although it seems a little voltage hungry, but I want a more power.. I'm certain I want to stay with quad cores so I was looking at the Q9550 and Q9650 possibly the QX series if I could find one used for alot less than retail value...
I'm at 3.7 Ghz right now and really want to hit the 4.2+ Ghz mark on air... I don't want to go the i7 route yet as I want to wait until they come down in price and will do a total rebuild at that point...
I want something that will compliment my GTX295 well... It will be for gaming, and benchmarks mainly...
Any ideas would be appreciated...
