Q7500, a budget quad core for under $150

[maroon1]

Agree, 8x multi, smaller cache and higher price (~50 bucks) tag doesnt help the q9400 much

Id recommend an q6600 over it anyday

3MB cache Wolfdale is slightly faster than 4MB cache conroe if both have same clock and FSB

So, a 6MB cache Yorkfield is slightly faster than 8MB keinstfield even if both have the same clock and FSB
