Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550S

legitreviews.com: The performance of the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 processor was impressive, and for those wanting to spend under $275 on an LGA775 processor it packs some horsepower under the hood that rivals nearly any other LGA775 processor. With four processing cores running at 2.83GHz, a total of 12MB of shared L2 cache, a 1333MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) and the fact that the processor is built on the 45nm process are the reasons that it does so well in the benchmarks.

Intel 3.4GHz Pentium 4 550

bjorn3d.com: My experience with Intel's new FC-LGA4 package has been a positive one. The installation was only slightly different than other socket processor installations, since the main difference is that the pins are located in the socket instead of on the processor.
