    Intel Q8400 or Q9400


    I am just about to order one of these 2 CPU's and want to know what one will be better as i will be overclocking anyway im not to bothered about the speed as i will set it to at least 3.0GHz the only difference i see is the cache so what do you think?

    Go with the Q9400, the extra cache will help you.

    The 9400 is the better choice.

    The more cache the better...but I've got an e8400 in a work box and it's a very fast CPU.
