Hello,

I just found a store which sells a
Intel Quad Core Q9450 s775,2.66GHz,1333MHz,12MB, for 254€
Is that a good price ?

I remember PIV's costing that price and since then I haven't really been in the loop.
I'm just curious and if anyone is interested I'll post the link. The store is in Belgium though.

They are by far the cheapest in Belgium -> I also looked at comtech and they rate it at €274. The reason why they are so cheap is that they import it from Germany. So if you want it cheaper, perhaps a look online (not Belgian) can help.

Q9450 at Alternate, Germany is €249 at the moment BUT the newer Q9550 is only €251. So, you could get a faster processor (2.833 GHz) for only 2 euros extra; probably the price difference is small in Belgium as well.

Click on the German flag. Gives you a good idea what competitive prices look like in Germany. Just be aware that the cheapest shop doesn´t necessarily have to be the best.

In that Belgian store the price difference is to high imo -> I'm talking about €30. When the difference is €20 or less, I'd do it.
@Gorath -> Off course with the shipping cost a cpu of €232 is about the same a going to a store nearby (Pladio is from Antwerp if I remember correctly) and buy it for €254. Plus like I already said, they have a (imo) pretty good support.
