Quick question:

Go for C2Q Q9550 for 240,-, or fork over 290,- for Q9650?

Both 2x6MB L2-cache, 1333 FSB, E0 stepping.

Q9550: 2833MHZ / 8.5x multi
Q9650: 3000MHZ / 9x multi

Well, same chips really, but Q9650 has slightly higher multiplier / standard clock. Running air-cooling, so I'm not gonna take it to it's limit, likely end up running it on 1600 FSB, synced with 800MHZ DDR2.
