Thread: Q6600 Vs Q9550

Cool Racer, we all know who's the rational 1 here, Don't resort to argue with idiots like I do, coz I couldnt help

QUOTE(asamkipas @ Nov 9 2009, 10:36 PM) i dont think 775 will be gone that fast ...just see garage sales,any socket 775 mobo still sells fast,prices of Core 2 Duo procs are still high and even Intel themselves came out a new budget proc in the form of Pentium Dual Core E6300,so 775 still has life in it.. yup... sc 775 mobo and proc surely got loads of user nowadays... i dont think it will dissapear next year... maybe 5 years time......

then what's intel going to sell for the masses?they are not stupid to only sell expensive parts that most people don't buy.the only real benefit of x58 is the i9,now tell me,are you going to spend more than 2k for the i9 ?

i know...what i meant was, y need to different socket aite?? better stick to 1... so in this case, 1156 cater low end CPU rather than 1336... so there is a chance that 1156 will be obsolete next year...

Yeah i've been thinking about maybe changing to i7 for quite a while already but then again maybe i'll keep my money until i9 launches? =D Just considering whether a small proc upgrade will be worth it.

Just to clarify some of teh questions my specs are as follows: Proc : 6600 @ 3.6 Mobo: EP45 UD3R Ram: 4 X 1GB Corsair DDR2 6400 Currently trying to get my proc to 4GHz but get BSOD till very sien even with very small fsb increases thats why i'm thinking of changing proc's....

QUOTE(soundsyst64 @ Nov 9 2009, 04:45 AM) if TS want to wait to collect enough money for future CPUs, Q9550 is a go. It can serves you for next 3-5 years yup, agree with this... even now ppl are still craving for procs like e8400, q6600, q9550 etc... and socket 775 mobo are still selling like hot cake....

s1156 replacement for s775 s1366 is like s423 for p4..s1156 is like s478 for p4..

QUOTE(pl4tinum @ Nov 9 2009, 02:34 PM) i'm not really a very hardcore overclocker in any sense lar. I just overclock a bit during my spare time but i don't know about you ppl but for me i feel that 4 GHz is some kind of achievement that i have to get before i change platforms gua. =D My Q6600 has been stuck at 3.6 for quite a while and am still trying to get it stable when pushing it past that mark. That's the main...

45 vs 65 nm clock to clock performance diff is around 5-6% i would say q9550 is around 15% faster thn q66 only
