QX9300 OEM Can Be Bought For xxx USD

omce again ill say this is a PRICE MISTAKE

 

They have plenty of fine print on all those websites explaining they can cancel anything at anytime for any reason and theres nothing that can be done about it .

 

Thanks Alexrose1uk for the advice, I think I'm lucky because I just order one but they cancel it due to some problem in my VISA card,

I'm considering your advice for the X9100 but I have some concern:
is it going to work with my system or i have to change the motherboard?
how is the performance of X9100 comparing to the Q9000 that i already have? is it worth it
if I overclocked my Q9000 to 2.5 it will better than X9100 or not?

Plz advice,

 

...............no no and no ......
well considering its like 3.6-8 ghz vs 2.5 ghz ... the quad will be smoked

 

but according to this thread
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=4418880#post4418880

the diffrent in 3D Mark between overclocked Q9000 and Default X9100 is
around 1000 point

oc Q9000
@2.45GHz
1280x720 12,592

X9100 @ 3,06 GHz :
1280x1024 13,971

 

here's the qx9300...... does someone here have a x9100?????
vantage
3.2ghz



2.53ghz


2.00ghz



that is only one benchmark i will run the rest later.

3.2ghz



2.53ghz


2.00ghz during this one my computer was auto defraging and updating adove. i will re run.


well let me pull up my record for 2.53ghz full 3dmark06 run.
re run at 2.00ghz.


this one is alittle older when i didn't know about ati's to much (i just got the quad and i was with a 8600m gs for a while. so at 2.53 you are right. i think i can 13,5-13,8 is i really tried.
)

 

Well I still have not received a CPU or shipping info.....but the money remains NOT in my bank account....guess I just have to be patient - price i pay for getting the cheapo shipping haha

 

3Dmark scores you higher on the CPU for using quads BECAUSE it is optimised for them and awards points to tehm, most games are not, and in the vast majority, a dual core at 3.1 will be quite a bit faster than quad a 2Ghz, or even 2.5Ghz.

At the same clocks they'll be about identical performance in the majority of games (the quad perhaps being slightly, and I mean slightly faster, as it can offset background tasks), but a QX will have a lot of trouble keeping up with the performance of a good clocked x9100 in the majority of games.

 

you need a better example for CPU score Don......I got over 12k with lower clock

Allright, don't know if this helps, but here is a convo I had today with an HP rep...

T: Thank you for your interest in HP Part Store Live Chat. How can I help you?

you: Hello T.

you: I am actually writing to inquire about whether or a not a specific part is available for individual order.

you: Part number 507946-001 to be precise.

T: Let me see

T: That part is currently in back order

you: Ah.

you: When it isn't on back order is it orderable as a single part?

you: Or is it only acquireable as a replacement?

T: Yes, you can order it as a single part

you: Ah. Brilliant.

you: What is the estimated time until it is restocked, if you can tell me that?

T: checked in the system and there is no update for an actual Estimated Time of Arrival to the warehouse. That means it takes approximately 2-4 weeks for the part to be shipped out once the order is placed

you: Ah- so if I placed an order in the next week or so, I should 'hopefully' have it by the end of the month?

T: Yes,

you: Ah!

you: Brilliant.

So am going to try to order one this week and see what happens. If anyone else finally did get theirs, would be great to know.

Good luck folks!

 

You broke rule number 1 when there is a price mistake.

 

update on going to the place. that is a negative. called them up, told them i lived near that area. they repeatedly said it wasn't a dropoff/pickup type of facility. everything is handled through the mail. im guessing the same type of situation with alienwares facility in florida.
o well, i tried guys.

 

Ordered! I'm so excited. Although the HP Sales support was not assuring by saying that this could take weeks or months to ship...

 

mine still says should ship on 8/6/2009 so we will see.....never got a shipping number today like tatiana said I would

 

????

Okay, I give- what's rule number one? I thought rule number one was *NOT* to ask them the price, and then they didn't check it?

 

lol! Mine says 8/1.

 

It's not to call them about the product at all.

 

Okay, now *THAT* makes more sense. Sorry about that- I was just more concerned with whether or not they were showing it would even ship.

 

When the M1730 pricing error hit it lasted about 5 days. People started calling them the 4th and 5th day into it. Died shortly after.

I think Scook already called them anyway about the QX9300.

 

Ahhh....okay, that was why I did it- I had seen the earlier thread with his convo with one of the reps and just wanted to let people know they were still planning on shipping.

My apologies to everyone if it does die soon after.

 

We'll see. This is not on Fatwallet or Slick deals like the M1730 was so it may last awhile. BTW I'm upset I didn't buy more than 1 of those M1730s. I'll probably be upset I didn't buy more than one of these.

 

i did hit 12 with my quad at 3.2ghz but i would have to look for that.

here it is

 

I want a qx9300. i miss mines (3.2ghz stable. booted on 3.33ghz but lack of voltage when doing heavy task it blue screened. and 3.5ghz it bluescreened at logon i had a god sent chip. ) i'm about to call the person who i sold it to and demand the cpu back!!!!!

 

Unless you plan on using the OCZ BIOS to OC that QX9300, I'd also get the X9100. My QS QX9300 runs at 3.2Ghz all day long. But like I said, you've got to flash the OCZ BIOS to do that. Yes, the stuttering happens. It's few and far between though.

 

lol Don......

 

Lol. what do you think he might say???
what would you say. i'm sooooooooo worried about getting one and it's a dud.

 

If I prefer the x9100 I'll give you mine.

 

yeah. the x9100 is so much better mandrake. don't even put it in your notebook. i mean it worth less.

matter fact put it in and see how high you can get. if you hit 3.07 or higher stable then just wrap it back up and send it to me. don't worry about benchmarks or anything like that. your dual hit 3.6ghz isn't that enough????



LMAO

 

lol. It's never enough.

 

Oh come on you couldn't even get my hopes up alittle.

i'm just joking. i haven't seen alot of post tonight????

 

I have mine.

 

I'm more curious about the soon to be release ATI cards and which proc will work better with them. I think I'll be testing for a while.

Maybe I'll do a "M17x-x9100 vs QX9300" thread when I get it.

 

well do it and let us know that results.

 

Scook should be able to help, I believe he'll also have both procs.

 

oh yes it does. he has two qx9300 and one x9100.

 

hehe......1 qx9300 and 1 x9100 right now.....we will see when HP gets me that OEM....but ya....i need to do some selling lol

 

yeah i don't know who has the 4 cpu's in his hands lol.

 

rub it in...I am still waiting haha...but they took my money so I better get SOMETHING

I had the same conversation he did...they dont have to be suspicious because it says to specifically talk to a sales rep in the part listing.

Order away!

 

at least I am rid of that p9500 now, delivered whitebook today

 

Mandrake and I are still curious to see how a P9600/9800 would oc due to the lower power requirments.

Unfortunately no one has one installed in there M!7x to test

 

Do you mean a T9600? Because if so, that's what I currently have installed.

 

ok second thread about the same topic...moving to side topics...

 

again...another qx9300 thread...moving to side topics...merging

 

Whoa, I just got deja vu, someone is changing the matrix! Why didn't I take the blue pill?

 

lol - there ended up being 3 threads about the same topic...all in one place now



ps - i like the avatar....

 

Thanks! It's Murray dog, re: Flight of the Conchords

 

My order completed. No tracking info yet.

Edit: I totally missed the tracking info on the page. I have a tracking number and it's being shipped next day air! It's due to arrive today!

Edit: Out for Delivery!

Edit: Status = Delivered.

 

my order was confirmed this morning. waiting for shipping/tracking. I seen this thread pop up again and checked it out yesterday.. and decided to go ahead and order it since the price was too good to pass up..

I wont hold my breath until it ships. it can still be canceled lol..
500$ for that processor is an awesome deal.

 

P9700. And it's not just you and Mandrake. ;þ

 

The P9700 is still too new. We need it to come down in price first.
