i may get the i7 but first i need to figure between these 2, so i can figure out why its only 40 bucks more for the quad when its sooo much more powerful?
lets compare the 2:
Q9550
2.83 ghz
quad core
12 mb cache
E8600
3.3 ghz
core2duo
6mb cache
now correct me if i am wrong but the Q9550 is almost as fast as the older core2 extremes? like the QX6600?
here is my question, with my setup below, which card would run crysis and other newer games at the highest frame rates?
the E8600 or the Q9550?
here is the setup:
8gb DDR2 800
750 gb hd 32 mb cache
nvidia 750 sli board
2 x 8800GT SLI or 9800 GT SLI
whatcha think is the faster setup? the E8600 is $175, and the Q9550 is $310....
thanks
