yeah but when you compare it to anything else in the price range, nothing really comes close.

Of coarse it is....also 50% more loot $.

I bought one at the $99 price, and think of it as a very capable budget chip. At these prices everyone can run a Quad . Mine is used to run a DOS Storage Unit program . q8200

What apps need lots of cache? Games?

 

[VinylxScratches]

Microsoft Office and Quicken 98 need cache.

Did she want an i7 or something?

A Q8200 @ 3.2ghz is still ridiculously fast. Especially for your sisters lame Facebook page.

Yes, but where do you find this mystical Q9400 for $130 - not seeing it anywhere on MC's web site.

It's only for in-store pickup and it'll only show up in stores that have one in stock, for instance like in the Kansas City/Overland Park store. They've got one and it's $129.99.

And in the North Jersey/Paterson store, there's one there, too. There are 4 at the Mayfield Hts., Ohio store....but that's about it for now.

Completely depends upon what stores have what stock.......
