http://www.gozr.net/iocl/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=420 I do have both now and i can say that they superior to Duos no doubts in my mind.. even set at a lower speed.. I'm very happy with the performances of the Q9550 E0 ... my Q9550 running at 3.4 ghz just cruising with out making a sweat at extreme low voltage with absolutely no voltage tweaked spank my E8500 4ghz. it blow my mind this on a XFX 780i or EVGA 750i FTW FSX, IL2, RoF, ARMA2 same ( No need of a S version but a E0 version is a must ) Title: Re: QUADS vs Duo's Post by: TX-Gunslinger on August 14, 2009, 12:03:55 pm I'm so close.....

I'm happy with it - there's nothing I cannot enable that I would want to enable graphically. However, I find myself making more and more FRAPS movies - which I'm not very happy with due to stuttering here and there at high resolution. The one thing I'd get huge benefits from I believe is in video capture. I'd like to make "how to" movies and such. I have Adobe Audition 3 for sound editing - and Adobe Premire for Video. The only thing limiting me is CPU. S~ Gunny Title: Re: QUADS vs Duo's Post by: GOZR on August 14, 2009, 12:19:28 pm This Q9400 has half the cache than the Q9550 and more expensive..
Q9400=6mb and Q9550 is 12 mb The Q9400 is a good cpu for home server or data center server but you need a Q9550 for $169.00 Read my thread in "insider".

Make sure to know the maximum front side bus speed you can get with a Quad in your mobo 400 FSB~ 475/500 FSB ? That would be the main reason on the Q9550 |
