    And Q9300 around 13200-13500

    X9100 non-OC'd = 13.9k
    QX9300 non-OC-d = 14.2k

    Vantage:
    X9100 non-OC'd = P7000ish
    QX9300 non-OC'd = ?

    Depending on the game, the differences between them in in game performance can be anywhere from 1-10% with either possibly having an advantage over the other (example: X9100 may perform better than the QX9300 in a game like Call of Juarez due to it's higher stock clock speed and CoJ not being multi-core optimized, while games like SupCom and Lost Planet would perform better on the QX9300 because of multi-core optimization.

    if you use the dual core over the quad core...i will not be able to call you. "master snake" anymore...lol once these systems start to really shape up..the qx will be up in the clouds in terms of pricing. and you can only go so far with the dual core.

    I had the same dilemma and ended up buying the Qx9300 as it seems to OC as high as the x9100 even though its native clock speed is lower. My reasoning was it's like having two x9100s on one die for about 25% more in terms of overall cost. I am still debating whether to wait for the new ATI GPU for this rig or get the new Clevo M98 U when it becomes available.

    wow huge difference?? i really didnt think there would be that big of a difference in 3dmark from the 9100 to the 9300 thats like 2000+ .... i mean are these average results.. wow

    sucks though the cheapest oem 9300 i can find is 860$ arghhhhi had to sell the one i had because i kinda promised it to the customer and they really wanted it..
