I have a P5B deluxe WiFi motherboard and I want to change my CPU (Pentium D 945). I don't have a high budget. I'm a little afraid of getting a 45nm processor because people have had issues with them on P5Bs. But it seems like the newer BIOS has solved most of those problems so I don't know.. Anyway that's why I'm considering q6700 (I think it's the best 65nm CPU).
q9400 is a little bit out of my price range but I might could go for it if it was a lot better than the other CPUs I mentioned.
I play games (Fallout3, Farcry2...) but I don't necessarily need high resolution(I rarely take it higher than 1280x960). I'm not sure what exactly qualifies as multitasking. I run a lot of parallel programs but their not necessarily heavy on resources. Not much video editing or encoding. I sometimes convert downloaded mkv files to avi but rarely. I personally think my PC is on maximum load when my mom goes on a clicking spree whenever a software takes some time to start.
BTW, will a 1333 CPU have any issues running on a 1066 motherboard?
