If the price of upgrade the mobo and getting ddr3 are a concern you're going to have to do that some time anyway, and intel will be keeping LGA-1366 in the high end through sandybridge. The price of ddr3 has dropped very much in the past two month too. You can now put together an decent 920 system for around a thousand dollars. Plus if you need to save up, by the time you get the money, price will have dropped again

Also the 920 and q9650 seem to overclock to similar speed, they can both break 4GHz
Yeah, I guess the performance increase from a 3.6ghz Q6600 to a 4ghz Q9650 will be minimal. I just love this mobo, and want to use it as long as i can.
Maybe it will go in a file server or something. Would hate to get rid of it.
