Other thing is a lot of us bought this board just when 45nm chips were coming out so we already had Q6600s that have been venerable enough to not replace

If you are looking into quads go for the Q9550
Thanks!

Not that they are in a price range, but what makes the extremes worth the cost behind them, even now with the i7's out?
