The Q807 batch is pretty good from what I've seen... I have a Q815, and I'm not that happy with it.

Just get the E8500 at the Egg right now, OEM for 209 and don't look back.

it's worth the few extra shillings.....

E8500 RULES!

Really it is? Are people getting much better results from the E8500 over the E8400?

I'd just get the E8400 and use the money saved towards good cooling. (LN2? hehe)

But you think it is as good as an E8500, what's the price difference 40.00?????

Common, no brainer....

most of the E8500 batches are good, there are very few that are not, mainly because there are far more batches of the E8400 because people buy those more, I'ma be grabbing a new E8500 here soo, so I'll have 2 ;)
