I'd bet that a QX9650 or QX9770 at 5GHz can run ALL games full speed.

And it's not just a single digit fps gain. There's a big difference between 150 and 200fps, you know.

and what do you want above Q6700? back to duo core is downgrading for future gaming, Q9450 is probably not worth the switch consider new CPU will come out again.
Nehalem is a new structure...

So that only leaves the Qx left...
Now THOSE are waste of money.

and a 'decent overclocking' mobo is another $200 to $300 lol
Wanna bet?
