Other than the fact that one is called "extreme " and will cost twice as much as the other?

If you want quad Q9450 is the best - performance/price ratio.
Intel Extreme is for serious overclockers and/or rich people :).
 
The Q9550 is supposed to replace the Q9450 at same price point with Base higher clock and .5 more multi.I was just curious about the Q9650 because I think they are going to stop producing 775 chipsets I would get a as high enough that would do me for 3 or 4 years.I would probably upgrade at whatever is 2 generations above the nehalem (sp?).Have to get a new MB anyways so I wouldnt count on getting one a of the extreme 775 as from what I have seen they dont lower the prices on those much anyways

extreme is just an unlocked multiplier which means no ocing without using fsb to a certain extent

You just contradicted yourself:confused:

Have a unlocked multiplier means you dont have to use your FSB to overclock, not that it means (no) overclocking without using the FSB.
