This thing is the sheez. I just picked up a 4400+ last night to replace my 3800+ and put in in with my 7700AlCu and pretty much immediately cranked it to 2.4. I wanted the extra cache this time so the 4200 and 3800 were out and no way was I going to buy a 4800. The way I look at it, you can always add speed, but you can't add cache. I wanted a dual core, but I didn't want to lose any speed on single thread applications. At idle, I was running 36 and load 47 with the 7700. Now I'm at 31 idle and currently at 38 load running 2 prime 95's and typing this up.
You're supposed to face it to the rear exhaust, but I have an Antec P180 with a 120mm exhaust at the top of the case. I faced it pointing up since there is only 2 or 3 inches from the 9500 and the exhaust. My system temp dropped pretty substantially as well.
