Hi Everyone, I am unable to find benchmarks comparing the two chips. Does the extra .1ghz and double L2 cache make a HUGE difference to spend the extra $70? Thanks, D

Thanks for your thoughts. Why is it so difficult to find the E8400? Do you believe there will be more by end of month? I have cash in hand :)

Fantastic article. Thank you for referencing it. I don't think I will be getting into OC so I am not too worried about the 9300's OC capability. When it comes to whether I go dual or quad...I figure a quad will last longer than a dual core (once more apps become multicore friendly)...

Hi, When I think about it I like the E8400 for its performance, however, the Q9300 will provide better longevity as applications become more available. The Q6600 is no longer a good idea because its only 1066mhz and the aforementioned CPUs run faster. Please advise if I have overlooked...

Hi Everyone, Im currently looking to purchase a new system. I decided not to go with the Q6600 because it is on the 65nm architecture and the price is currently 270CAD. For $40 more I can upgrade to a Q9300 (which is my limit) or for $40 less I can go to E8400 which is 45nm architecture...
