471 x 8,5 on a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P[/url] ) and It was the same huge slap again ...
then I builded a Raid0 array and again .. another f...g slap on my face .. it hurt .. but this is gooood

Edit : acording to this, you can expect 3,4 Ghz @ 400 Mhz FSB with the Q9400 ...
I'm not sure the context you're using giant slap in your face. Was it good? Was it an upgrade? Or was is a slap in your face as in money wasted and not the performance you'd expect? Very confusing...
