    I've been looking at EBay, how do I know these processors are not fake/low quality kind? Where do you get yours? Or how can you tell?

    I've been looking at the T9600, T9800 and X9100. Is the X9100 overclockable? Which one do you think is the best for the price? I'm trying to emulate some PS2 games from my DVDs since my PS2 broke and the CPU keeps reaching 100%.

    Unfortunately the x9100 isn't overclockable in these systems, that I know of.

    I can't speak for others but I already have a PS3 at home. Other than setting it up I haven't used it. The kids are a different story, they love it............

    i've got t9600 from him too. working good.
    if you have $500 to burn, go for x9100 but if not, settle down with t9600 or t9800. 0.1 or .2 ghz cpu speed doesn't make much of difference. really..
    and 7805u can only go up to 3.0ghz.. =(
    right now, t9800 is $340 and is virtually same as x9100 with lower temperature. i probably would go with that. if not t9600($280) is also
    nice choice. ;)
