the thing is you wanna keep same hardware and motherboard and upgrade to new processor?? see the motherboard processor support here P5K

 

forget the Q8400 and get the Q9400 price difference is 30€, if you can spend up maxi to 200€ the choice is easy if you can find q9400 under 200€

 

you can check for Q9505 if you can find it under or around 200€ which is better, there is Q9550 but you need more than 200€

i say that you should wait a lil save some money and move on up to an 1366 lga system .

yeah, gonna keep old motherboard and only upgrade processor. Maybe later i gonna build whole new comp, but it needs to wait.

 

hmm, here: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66GHz = 165.90 € , Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz = 203.90 € , Intel Core 2 Quad Q9500 2.83GHz = 209.90 € , Intel Core 2 Quad Q9505 2.83GHz = 212.90 € , Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz = 274.90 €.

 

So i think best choise will be: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9505 2.83GHz = 212.90 € .

 

Will listen if someone else has experience about these models, but gonna push order button soon

 

thanks for reply.

little high prices where you live here in france:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66GHz = 144 €

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz = 178 €

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9505 2.83GHz = 199 €

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz = 249 €

 

anyway take your time and see which is the best price for your hardware

 

@chuck: lga 1366 is great but without new motherboard (more than 199$ for a good one) and memory ddr3, so to set up new 1366 minimum 600$ only for cpu + motherboard

I know a lot of people who use Q9550 and it seems like it was the best processor you could choose over a year ago. But still even for today the Q9550 goes above and beyond what you need for gaming. If you do chose one I guarentee you will not be disappointed.

[C@n0S]

ok so tomorrow Q9550

[-=Medic=-]

lol I have Q9550 here tomorrow receiving my XFX HD-5870 ^^

 

but careful there is Q9505 Q9550 Q9550s

the q9505 is the same as 9500 but have TXT (Trusted Execution Technology) and VT-d (Virtualization Technology) more.

Q9550 has 95 TDP

Q9550s has 65 TDP but 100€ more then normal Q9550

[C@n0S]

Ok, buyed Q9550 working good 268,09€ ...

first of all

my guess is that you wont be doing any high end computing every day

u will probably use ur pc for about 2 -3 hours everyday , maybe less

 

dual core is good enough but if you wanna upgrade then performance wise

todays quad cores from amd and intel have almost similar performance

with 10:1 price ratio

 

get an amd quad core and an asus over clocking board

amd phenoms are great for gaming

 

if you are willing to spend 500 600 bucks after cpu then u can get intel core i5

 

i recommend core i5 over i7's for gaming as they have integrated graphics controller

u will get higher fps with core i5

ssssssssssssheesh im such a geek !!

[tipsy]

ok throw ur old processor to me :/

[Krayzie]

ok throw ur old processor to me :/

 

No me

[tipsy]

No me

 

omg..this is my thread i asked first

[Bi0s]

i dont want it i am a die hard AMD fan

[FinZeroX]

BiOs, that's good, because if AMD stays on the #2 place, it will be cheaper and almost as good as Intel.
