And as I put in the other thread I don't think your board supports 45nm cpus...:(

Edit: I lie it does with a bios update....

Unless you plan on massively overclocking it, no. It returns roughly [b][i]half[/i][/b] the value-for-money of the Q6600 if you overclock both to the same core speed. :)

Cheers, Slipstreem. :cool:

Nah...Q6600 if you want a quad. :)

I think the Q9550 is the best value, I have seen it on ebay for £199.

Not necessarily the 4870, but a cut down version with the same gpu.

Mobile 4870?

Well the laptop would rival the George Foreman grill :D

I have an E6600 at the moment and I am very happy with it, so yes I will consider the Q6600. Another question do you think AMD/ATI will bring out a mobile version of the HD4870.

Go for a Q6600. Cheaper. Might not clock as high (with an overclock) but even Dave still recommends the Q6.

4870 is a great DX10 card, but one of the (if not THE) best DX9 cards too.

So yes, go ahead. But consider the CPU :)

I might go for a Q9300 and a HD4870, but I don't want to go to vista yet so is it worth it.

Or a Phenom...:sick: :D

RE: QX9775 Socket

MartenReed — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:22:36 GMT

Or just get a Q9300 like normal people? :P

Or a Q6600..

Cheers I'll have a look round for one of them then, I don't know if my wallet will stretch that far though.

No, and never will be. The equivalent chip for Socket 775 is the QX9770.

RE: QX9775 Socket

So at the moment the QX9775 is not available for socket LGA775 I take it.

Not new. It's the server socket, for Skulltrail. The new sockets will arrive with Nehalem (Core i7).

The QX9775 is a socket LGA771 and my E6600 is a socket LGA775, am I right in thinking this is another new socket and the 2 are not directly swappable.
