    I doubt he believes it will be better (faster), but what it might be is cheaper.

    I think it will be competitive performance-wise and more than competitive cost-wise, thus making it an excellent value. When paired with a 790FX-powered motherboard and when using AMD Overdrive software excellent overclocking can be achieved.

    I have a very similar system besides dual core instead of quad and it doesn't even tackle my 480W Tagan PSU properly. Never even gets warm. No experience with Enermax, but Tagan is just sweet under load.

    Intel memory usage is entirely decided by the chipset. IOW: depends on the mobo you buy.

    X38 (I think in that time it should be cheaper than X48 and most feature is identical to X38)I think I'm not sure that Q9450 FSB 1333 use DDR2 or DDR3.

    Becuase if its use DDR3 the cost will highly rising up.

    There are X38 based MBs that use DDR2, like the Asus P5E and Maximus Formula SE for example. Plus, virtually all P35 based MBs support Yorkfields and many P965 and older MBs do as well.
