I dont get it. I just bought the Q9450 for $279 the other day. And its only gonna drop to $316 this fall. I think Intel could do a better job on that offical price drop for the 3rd Quarter.

I noticed you have the same MOBO as me, What BIOS version do you have? I have the F8. I'm thinking of getting a Quad but was wondering if there was only problems or anything?

I don't think I'd get a Q6600... I'd get a new 45n Quad. :D I'm going to Canada, so it'll be cheaper for me to buy one there!

I updated the Bios to F13q and my whole setup runs like a charm, no bottlenecking seen anywhere so go ahead and give it a try. I do recommend upgrading RAM to 2GB or 3.5GB and having a sufficient power supply. By looking at what you already have in your sig I think you should be fine.
