Default q9350?
why has the cheapest q9series only got 6mb of cache. Its a great price but seems odd not to have 6mb instead of 8?

Most likely the other 2MB of cache is no good and this is the best way to sell them off as good CPU's. I for one am going to be forced to resist the upgrade bug, especially since I have no need for more power/speed. I did myself a favor and switched to a 64 Bit OS so benchmarks don't work properly and now I don't run them.

Default ah i see
ok that makes more sense.
As you just got your quad upto 3ghz i guess its pretty pointless to think about upgrading from a xeon to these.
Id just like to wake this GPU up a bit more and have some more flexibility for the future. Currently the 939 system runs the new stuff very well though. Im not really bothered about benches either, just running things smoothly.

Get yourself a 24" or larger LCD running 1920X1200 or more resolution to really push that card the hardest.
