Great new CPU

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.5 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - EU80580PJ0606M
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.5 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - EU80580PJ0606M

Pros: Stock-for-Stock, is 7% faster than the Q6600. My Q9300 is running a cool 29c at load on an Actic Freezer 7 Cooler. Seems to be compatible out of the box with many P35 boards, Im running a MSI P35 Neo-F. Couldnt be happier with this processor.

Cons: The 7.5 multi might be a turn off for some Overclockers, But, this CPU will perform better at 3.4ghz than a Q6600 at 3.6ghz. (Xbit Labs Article)

Overall Review: Its amazing how many non-owners banged up this processors reviews, but its a good thing, it dropped the prices rather quickly.

Great MB with unganged mem support.

Pros: This is a solid motherboard with a really nice feature set. Lots of SATA and expansion options, good bios support too. The best option is the Single Channel / Unganged Mode for Ram.. You can use a single Module, which is great for a low cost way to peicemail upgrade.

Cons: It does take a larger sized case than some folks might have.. be sure to check your specs.

Excellent processor!!
