Well I'm sick and tired of waiting for the Q9450...and who knows when they'll be released...since Intel is now having problems with them. I'm starting to think about getting the E8400 because (A) it's out right now, and (B) has a higher operating frequency than the Q9450 does.

What do you people think? I know the E8400 will be better in games...but what about everything else? I will be multi-tasking some and playing games as well. I also would really like to overclock as much as possible.

E8400

$239
Dual Core
3.0 GHz
6 MB L2 Cache
Out Right Now

Q9450

$316
Quad Core
2.66 GHz
12 MB L2 Cache
Who the Hell knows when it'll be available.
