just benchmarks though. but you will see an increase in performance i did. i downclocked mines and tried different speeds and they was a difference at 1.6ghz 2.0ghz 2.53ghz 3.07ghz. i also had 3.2ghz but from 3.07ghz to 3.2ghz it wasn't really big.

 

Sorry for not going through all 26 pages looking for this but the link was removed and I can't see the part number anymore, is this posted somewhere? or could it be reposted? (goes to scan through pages)

Sorry I did read the whole post but wasnt looking for the part number so when I was it went completely over my head it was written.

Canadians can buy this part for $687.

 

It helps to read full posts

 

My OEM HP qx9300 shipped today!!!!!! Waiting on tracking number!

 

Congrats, mine will be waiting for me at home today. Now I just need a notebook to test it on....haha

 

send to me...ill test it

 

Tracking number should be on your order status page through a link. I missed it the fist time I saw it shipped.

 

Nothing personal, but I can wait a few weeks for my M17x to get here haha

 

DOH!!!!

You are right. it was right there. Shipment Status.. Woot!!!!

 

Well I came home and sure enough, there was my QX9300 waiting for me

yay!

 

congrats it came out

 

well here is a picture of the beauty



Mandrake, would you mind taking a picture of yours and posting, I want to see if they are indeed the same batch (or just post the batch number, is the number on top second row on the left)

 

i like the picture but it my hands would be better. i'm on a res of 1280*800 so being shipped to me would be the best way for me to see what's up with it.

 

haha, you wish don

 

Here is mine and my bang up thermal paste job!

 

hmmm, I see they are different batches.....hope I got same as mandrake! lol

 

I just pulled the trigger as well. We'll see if it ships. Pic of course upon arrival. Hmmmm... now what to do with the T9800? It'll probably sit in the closet in case I ever need it.

 

yeah i would just hold it as well.

 

Mine looks like this one.

 

mandrake your post wasn't the most informative...care to elaborate? I am particularly interested in the batch number haha

 

Should I talk slower? lol!...j/k

I'm running OCCT in the background against my proc(finally testing stability) for about 15 minutes now @ 3.2Ghz, uploading this pic and posting this message....in otherwords everything is solid. Gonna test higher speeds now.

My Trio

 

Mine wont be here till monday :-( So no time to put it in until that weekend.. grrr. I was hoping I would have it tomorrow

 

If I put mine any higher than 2.93 I get a bluescreen, I'm happy with that though!

 

I'm stable up to 3.25 so far. I can run benchmarks up to 3.35.

 

I really hope i can get that. I will be uber happy if I get the same results Mandrak. *crosses fingers*

 

Well bummer, I got different batch than you did mandrake (maybe I will still be ok haha)

Jubal, you however got the same batch as he did, so hopefully you can pull off some sick overclocks as well!

 

I really need a better camera. I need a good point and shoot. Different forum I guess.

 

haha. Your picture would be better if you just used macro settings...allows you to zoom at a close range MUCH better

 

My camera is actually a camcorder. bought it to take vids of the kids but my wife wants an easy to use point and shoot that can do video and has at least 10 megapixels. Such a thing exist?

 

ya, they are decently common now a days and good price.

I have a Sony 7.2 MP point and shoot I paid $200 for 3 years ago. For the same price you can get a 10 MP or around there now. If you can bump to the 350-400 range, you can get a very nice point and shoot. And all point and shoots today have video, although they will not record at the full resolution (this is normal practice)

 

My wife does like Sony products since everything else she uses is Sony and they work well together. I'll have to see what they offer.

 

happy shopping

(although I will warn that the sony point and shoot does have a a noticeable processing time between taking pictures - this really annoys some people, I never really cared)

edit: that is with mine though, old model, new ones may be faster - I got a DSC-W55 for the record

 

Now that I have the chip, any idea where I can get the sticker? I'd like to put it over top of my core 2 duo sticker

 

I got one from ebay. I put it next to the existing sticker.

 

All the cool kids seem to have one of these. It's getting harder to not pull the trigger here...

Is there any particularly good reason on why I shouldn't get this?

 

It doesn't come with a sticker!

If you can live with that downside, I'd say it's a great deal!

 

You are definitely not helping. I hate stickers on my laptops with passion.

 

Well, 500 bones for a CPU isn't exactly cheap, IMO.

That is why I haven't got one. Besides, it seems that the dual core chips are oc'ing to near X9100 levels so it's all about price/performance!

 

I don't like them as front side decoration, especially not on the M17x but I think they are okay on the bottom where all the Windows and Intel stuff goes

As far as this particular deal, I'd say if you have the cash, get it while it's hot, it's not going to last forever.

 

guess I will need to order a core 2 extreme sticker for mine.....the core 2 quad wont cut it

 

What are you going to do with the Q9000?

If you sell it let me know how much....

 

I am going to have to hold onto it for warranty purposes, don't think Dell will be happy about an HP purchased CPU in their machine if I have to send it back in haha

 

Nah... Dell doesn't care.

I had my 1730 frankensteined with all different parts. You don't send it to Dell anyway, it gets serviced at the house (or, in my case, I do my own and have Dell send the parts to me).

I'd say at least 40% why I always come back to Dell lappies is the warranty

 

I am extremely comforted by the warranty they offer, coming from a whitebook where every BIOS flash and upgrade was russian roulette!

 

woot my qx9300 was delivered today!!!!! Have to wait till this weekend to install it.

 

well my batch number is diff.. i anticipated that it would be.

I just saw a bunch of QX9300 on EBAY that are selling for $545 and $550. Do you think these are legit? I calculated the amount to buy it from HP. They charge 502.55 plus tax (in NJ its about8%) plus 11.25 shipping so it comes out to around the same price.

 

Those on ebay are all ES samples. No warranty or support (if there is a problem which there usually isn't with cpu's).

I would get the OEM from HP waaaay before I'd pay the same for a ES....

 

Yeah not in the same ballpark. Questionable ES procs vs an OEM proc coming from a big pc manufacturer.

 

well installed my OEM, god dam that is not fun....these could have been more user serviceable, I miss that on my whitebook now...haha

But, it works

No time to OC right now, but stay tuned
