Wouldn't the regular Q9650 be a better deal, because it's E0 stepping, and the QX isn't?

3 or 4 months ago this would have been sorely tempting, now not so much.

Nice deal for some though...

Not to mention its $330 now for the Q9650.

Wow, that's an awful lot to pay in "unlocked multiplier tax"

I was thinking that the QX would be the multi processor variant or something.

Wouldn't $600 be better spent on an i7 platform?
Seems like alot to spend on 775 😕.

It kinda works like this.

If you have enough money to get a QX9650, you're gonna be using it under LN2/Dice which makes it a better deal then the Q9650 E0 because if its unlocked multi.

However if you have enough for a LN2/Dice setup, then you've long graduated from LGA775, so you wouldn't even be giving the QX9650 a second look.

If you're only on air/water, then the Q9650 E0 would be a better chip for you, plus it costs less.

Really it makes no sense at all for anyone to buy a QX9650 now 😕

in this case the term "unlocked" is worth hundreds of dollars.

Oh yes, the money would be better spent on an i7 system.
