eWiz.com has the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz Processor 1333MHz FSB for $216 - $10 off with coupon code GOODSTUFF10 [Exp 9/21] = $206 with free shipping. The chip uses 45nm process technology. OEM boxed, but upgrading to a silent heatsink fan cooler is a cinch. [Compare]

    Why would anyone get this when you can get a 920 it for cheaper?

    Maybe because some people have a perfectly good 775 system and don't want to buy a whole new platform. I'm hoping there will be a real price cut on these in the next few months, till then this isn't much of a deal.

    AMD announced that they going to drop the price for quad to less than a $100... Unless you are a fan of Intel products...

    these are the perfect upgrade for those running the older Core Duo chips, assuming their mobos support C2Q

    wait a bit longer, and I'm sure the sales of i5 will drive the prices of C2Q even lower

    If you have a Micro Center near you it is available for $169 in store only. I was fortunate enough to have one nearby about 45 minutes away. $169 is the cheapest I have seen thus far for the Q9550.
