    At your own risk, try PLL RTM876-660 in SetFSB. I know it works on the P8400, P8600, and P9500. The T9800 will hardlock the system. The rest of the processors I can't confirm.

    These results are from users of the M860TU, btw.

    Yeah, I forgot that part. And actually, it's only around 186.

    so should i just wait till the a better 35w, higher clocked variant of the qx9300 comes available?

    the price of the q9100 and the qx9300 seemed to be far from worth the additional performance (at least in system configurators).

    don't get me wrong...i'm happy with the q9000--but i would like to upgrade when something with better cache, higher speed, low price comes along (assuming it doesn't have the thermal generation of ceramic shuttle tiles on re-entry).
