For a $229.95 CPU we're liking the performance of the Q9400, good price, overclocking champion that's a winning combination. Any chip that costs that much and you can get a 50% overclock with a locked multiplier is good in our book. There's more to get from the Q9400 it just depends on how bad you want bragging rights, you'll need a high FSB capable motherboard and some nerves of steel mixed with a little overclocking skill but it's there to get.
