I'm seeing summer-time. How 'bout you?

Selling my beloved Q9450

To a geek – it’s like a classic automobile – something not everyone on the block has.  Something out of production. Yet, a chip that reached 4.2 on water and corrupted my RAID Controller. Ran for nearly a year @ 3.8 with a 1999mhz FSB – stable as can be!

(sniff)

Upgraded to Core i7 920 almost 2 weeks ago and the performance gains are unbelievable.  Stock for Stock clocks gain you an average of 25% more CPU power at the same frequencies.  Both chips come at 2.66ghz.  Q9450 holds 12mb L2 cache.  i7 920 hold 8mb L2 Cache. 

Geek Up!
