More bang for few bucks

This used Intel Q9550 replaced an E5200 in an Asus P5QPL-AM motherboard. Several custom scripts we've used for years had become unreliable to outright predictable in their crashing. CPU seemed to be running 50% all the time under the weight of Windows 8.1 and all the attendant bells and whistles even when machines ought to have been idle. Q9550 reduced the load to high teens or less. Machines run pleasantly faster and the scripts complete successfully. Saved me a lot of grief trying to write slimmer scripts or figure out what besides Windows Updates was loading down the system. Sometimes a bigger hammer is the best option.Read full review

Great Upgrade

I was looking for the fastest processor available for my old motherboard which had a Pentium E5200. This quad core was and easy in out, and the performance is everything I hoped for. I like new desktop for pennies on dollarRead full review

Great Upgrade

For the budget minded computer needs, this CPU is a great upgrade for that old core 2 duo or P4 LG775 system. Make sure that your motherboard can take this CPU as an upgrade. A BIOS update may be needed.Read full review

Fast processor for it's generation

This enhanced an older computer to tolerably fast performance with complementary additions to include 8GB ram at the 1333mhz with a 64bit Win7 pro O.S.
