New find, Old Tech. Phenom not only the budget Quadcore: Intel Xeon X3210 Core2Quad
Well, I was checking the prices of quad cores on a hardware site, and I figured I'd check the X3350 prices since they're pretty much identical to the Q9450s... and I stumbled upon this, the Intel Xeon X3210 Core2Quad.
Its clocked at 2.13Ghz with an 8x Multiplier, 2x4MB Cache, and G0 stepping on the LGA 775 Socket. Basically its an underclocked Q6600. Goes up just as high as the Q6600 when overclocked (basically its limit is at 3.6Ghz). All that, at a cheaper price. Basically, don't bother recommending the Q6600/Phenom to anyone on a budget, this thing will take you to 3.6Ghz at even less then the Q6600.  REVIEW @TechGage REVIEW @Neoseeker

Most "normal" people go with what they can afford, not really much base on recommendation if they can't afford it..
If you gonna go for quad core then price shouldn't be your main concern since they cost more than the dual core (duh..).
