Question CPU upgrade from a core2Duo to a QUAD Core

[Wishbone1]

yeah, some stores in Aliexpress don't send to some parts of the world. You can search for the item on Ebay if you really need it.

cannot comment on the E5700, I never had a rig like that. I started from an e8400, which was later upgraded to a Q9500. The upgrade went without problems.

Whats the better cpu Q9450 or q9500 not much on you tube about the Q9500

The Q9500 is cheaper.But u tube seems to have a lot more on the Q9450.Bench marks seem to rate them neck to neck.

which is why I said just buy whatever is available.

At that age, with that level of performance, you'll notice the difference between a modern pc vs that pc, even doing little stuff like opening web pages, far more than the few seconds difference between the 2x cpus.
