Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Yorkfield 2.66GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor AT80580PJ0676M

Pros: Wow, I still have one of the earlier Q9450 version that is at least a year older than the originals of these Q9400 in my main gaming computer. What happened did newegg loose a whole bunch of these and just find them now. I Love these processors. They overclock well and has treated me nicely but really, if mine which is now a good 4+ years old died on me I would upgrade by now even if the price was reasonable. Still I can't express how impressed I am by newegg to actually do this, if they did it 2 years ago I might just have bought a back up one. Too bad these were built so well even after 4 years of overclocking my 2.66 to 3.5 ghz its still is not destroyed. Still while a good idea newegg, its after 4 years. I think though after 4 years, anyone reading this is probably wondering why all gamers would not have already upgraded or rather why, me who is writing this, is seriously still using one of these and has not upgraded already. I think this is great and I find it hysterical that they actually still have some core 2 quads in stock.

Cons: next cpu's lets price this more reasonably after 4 years and do what you have just done 2 years earlier.

Pros: well you can buy a core 2 quad again

Cons: WHY BUDDA IS IT SO MUCH ? SERIOUSLY.... This would make sense in the 150 usd range.
