I just ordered a X3350. I want the 8x multi and the 12 meg cache ! Quad number 8 on the way ! $344 shipped. I screwed up, didn't see the reply before I hit enter order. But I called, and they are not affiliated with moogr. They wouldn't take the code, so I lost the $20....335 (344 shipped) isn;t bad.

the 9450 vs 9300 (or the xeon equivalent) should only be $50 or so different. imho that is well worth the price for the higher multi and doubled cache. now, spending $200 extra for the 9550 is probably NOT worth it unless you must have 4 ghz to soothe your e-penis.Originally posted by: TheJian

Not at all. Every single benchmark will be won by the Q9300/X3320. Period. And that's not including the fact that it runs cooler, should overclock better based on the 45nm process (assuming a board that can hit 2000+fsb) AND comes with SSE4.1.
The faster FSB, 100mhz, and core improvements make it win 7% avg in everything.

Q9300 vs. Q6600. Q6600 didn't win ONE test.
Look at the power consumption. Q9300 is 100mhz more. Now look at the overclocked ones at Q6600 3.6ghz vs Q9300 3.5ghz. Which you would probably need to get close to the Q9300. A full 70watts!
I might want the 3350 if I bothered though. Easier overclock without huge FSB.
But your wallet usually dictates what you do...LOL
