    The W90VP-A1 actually has a Q9000 as a default option, so I think the QX9300 will work. I wouldn't say it's a hundred percent certain, though; it's always a little bit of a crapshot with quads and extremes. If you can't make use of the unlocked multiplier on the QX9300, I'd say it's not worth the upgrade, though.
