If the q9450's are going to take forever, look into the Xeon X3350, same exact cpu as the q9450, but you can but it now.Quote:

The x3350 is one of the LGA775 workstation Xeons. They are exactly the same as their desktop counterparts aside from the names and S-Spec codes.Quote:

Are they actually higher binned, or not? Because I know some people who would swear by the Xeon chips being higher binned (and thus OC better), while others swear that they're binned exactly the same as their desktop counterparts.

Another nice day:)

It's still pretty much a toss up as to which clocks better with the limited data set we have most of the time.
Edit: ooooooo! and way to go team on whomping easy news again!
Nice job guys, how many days does that make now?
On an OT note, Blauhung, regarding the Bloomfield board board that appeared today. How many channels would be used if only two sticks were installed into 2 same color slots? How about all 4 slots? I hope you can answer but totally understand if you can't.
Wes, or anyone else. Have you used Lagoom? Are they good to do business with?Quote:

I'm still debating on ordering one. Trying to decide if I want to hold out on Skulltrail or get a server 5400 board for the 5420's I plan on ordering here shortly.
I doubt the $150 price difference (between selling a used q6600 and new x3350) is going to give me/us that many more points over a q6600.
EDIT: Awesome day guys!
