Beast
- Pros: I bought this chip about 6 months ago to build a new machine for graphics and 3D modeling, and I have to say that it hasn't let me down one bit. I can be running 3 Adobe apps along with Maya and my computer just keeps rockin.
- Cons: Even with running 64bit OS's, i know the applications aren't getting the maximum benefit from the quad-core. I guess i'll just have to keep this computer for a while and let the software developers catch up.
- Other Thoughts: The CPU was a tad expensive when i bought it, but i can't really complain now because it's doing its job and then some. I highly recommend it.
Hard worker
- Pros: I know some ppl have gotten DOA products of this type, or they die within a few months. Maybe just because I didn't mess with it, but it has performed well for me. I'm not really big on games, but I play COD 4, and it did great. Now I can multitask like crazy, and it won't complain. Best CPU I've gotten so far.
- Cons: None since I don't overclock, I don't mind any locked features.
- Other Thoughts: Since it's been over a year I thought I would do an update review. Maybe someday I'll overclock it since ppl say its a monster, and you can go a step up right out of the box. I'm only using a regular aftermarket fan-heatsink and I don't think it gets too hot.
Are you kidding me?
- Pros: Everything. Seriously.
It overclocks EASY to 3.2Ghz simply by turning up the Front Side Bus Speed to 1600 on your mobo. No need to increase voltage for this.
And wholly smokes Batman, does it scream with those 4 cores and the 12MB Cache. Absolutely Sick for the price. You get Core 2 Quad Extreme performance, for a third of the price! Da Bomb! Serious BANG for your BUCK$!
- Cons: Locked Multiplier, but I understand. If they were to unlock it, the price would probably be double for this bad boy. No E0 Stepping, but who needs it with this?
It already runs cool and very efficient.
- Other Thoughts: Increasing Voltages to gain more overclocking is not too bad either. You can get stable at like 3.4-3.6, and on some of these chips even 3.8-4.0Ghz. WOW!
I've yet to stress this thing and make it chunk. I don't think it's possible with any kind of everyday normal use.
I've opened double digits of webpages, Windows Media Player, streaming video, and full screen intense graphics games all at once, and this thing doesn't even blink.
Intel has finally provided extreme enthusiast performance and features for the mainstream buyers with the Q9xxx Quad series of CPUs.
GET ONE BEFORE THEY'RE EXTINCT! (or run into submission by their big brothers Q9550 and Q9650)
