Intel to cut prices of Q9650, Q9550, Q9400 and more

[LowRun]

He's not just talking about just upgrading Q6600. But motherboard, RAM and Processor and commented if i7 was good bang for the buck. If it were just upgrading a Q6600, right, he could just do that with a Q9550 or Q9650 drop-in. Roll your eyes until the cross LOL!

You definitely look like the former THG forum member you are and to top it off it seems like you have problems understanding what you read. Let me try to make it clear for you.

Finally the Q9650 will come down in price enough that I can replace the trusty Q6600 in my 780i. Christmas is here again.

Here's the drop in you mentioned Q6600 --> Q9650 and he was planning.

Wasn't Q9650 end of the line ? Well.. now I won't be afraid to waste this one if there will be more coming

But still at that price think a i7 920 is more bang for the buck than the Q9650.

Don't forget to take into consideration a new motherboard and RAM, suddenly there is not so much bang for the buck.

And then he brings the fact that despite the inferior price of the 920, he would have to buy a new mobo and some DDR3 which would kill the bang for buck.

Got it genius?

So yes, he's speaking about upgrading his Q6600
