Intel Quad Core Prices

As i5/7 comes in (even here in Chile), I want to track the price of
s775 quads, with the hope of buying one at the cheapest point, and so
prolonging the life of my current system.  Hence this thread...

BYM has Q9650 (12MB, 3GHz) for 244.409
SYM has same for 248.800
Rigam has same for 255.574

That's as fast as it gets for s775 Quads.

More Quads

Rigam has the Q9550 at 2.83 (12Mb) for 173.945 which is a much better deal
SYM had that, but it's sold out 170.932

Otherwise it's the 6MB models that top out at 2.66 MHz.
