I have an e6400 @ 3ghz.
Right now frys has the e8400 / gigabyte board combo for $120
or
the q9550 costs about $215
I will be pushing only as high as 400fsb which would give me and effective rate of 3.4 on the q9550 or 3.6 on the e8400.
Do you think the near $100 premium would be worth it for the q9550 or should I spring for the e8400 at $120.
(there is no microcenter near me)
