I think that's the ones' I've been waiting for. Just waiting now to see UK prices and where the Q6600 price goes to.
I'm also considering a MacBook for some of the video work I'm getting into so looks like great news for me for mebbe Q'2'ish.

Yup the Q9450 is what I will probably be getting when it is released, the list price around the same as the current Q6600.
