Upgrade to QX9650, Q9550, or keep E7500 (3.6 O/C)
Hello fellow Xtreme members! Hoping to get opinions on a possible s775 upgrade. I currently have an E7500 overclocked to 3.6. I have a $300 budget for a CPU upgrade, and am looking at the two CPUs below. I don't game much. I mostly spend time web-surfing and doing small tasks such as homework and light media encoding. I don't NEED to upgrade, as the E7500 performs just fine for my requirements. However, from your expert opinions, which option would you decide on? I am holding off on upgrading the platform until the s2011 CPUs come out (I know, the end of 2011; not a problem as I figure the three choices I have will hold me over until then). Thanks for any help!
